If Buster Olney is right.
"The ripple effect of the Felix Hernandez signing may mean Cliff Lee will be elsewhere after 2010. Should Lee have another strong season, he would be poised to be the most coveted free agent next fall, commanding somewhere in the range of $16 million to $22 million a year"
I may be missing something, but I doubt Cliff Lee is going to be paid that much. Rightly or wrongly, he is not perceived as an elite SP. Those salaries would lead one to say he is. The days of the best player available getting a max contract are over.
What I do believe is the Mariners' will be able to get more in July for Lee than the Phillies got for him this past off-season.
