According to Phillies MLB.com beat writer, Todd Zolecki: Source: Phillies also would receive OF Ben Francisco (.250, 10 homers, 33 RBIs). Right-handed bat the Phillies have been looking for.
Yahoo! Sports and FOX Sports are both reporting the Cliff Lee deal to be close. According to Yahoo! In return, the Indians would receive right-handed pitching prospects Carlos Carrasco and Jason Knapp and at least two players from a group that includes catcher Lou Marson, shortstop Jason Donald and outfielder Michael Taylor, according to sources.
If the Phillies can do this, kudos to them for getting a top pitcher and the right handed bat they needed without giving up their top prospect (Drabek) or a single person from their major league roster. Cliff Lee is not Roy Halladay, but for the reported price, I think it would be a really, really good pickup for the Phillies.
