OK? They have seen Lee once and Hamels has an ERA over 4. Not impressed with the Reigning CY young winner. And it must be pretty hard to understand this two pitch pitcher since he leads the league in K's and has already surpassed Hamel's total from last year. The truth is they would trade anyone on their team from Lincecum
I would not want any of their players for Timmay. Hamels got hot for the playoffs the rest of the season he was 14-10 with a 3.09 era. Not bad but not Timmay. Howard he swings a big bat but he stikes out (2009-126, 2008-199,2007-199) almost as much as Timmay throws a K (2009-191, 2008-265, 2007-150). And yes Lee was the Cy Young winner last year but lets look at the last 3 season for him 2007 5-8 with a 6.29 era, 2008 22-3/ 2.54, 2009 8-9/ around 3.00. He is not consistant. Not to mention that he was a late add to the Indians last season because another player got hurt.
Jimmy Rollins and Chase Utley are the only guys on the Phils that I would be interested in, but there is no way in Gods Green Earth that I would give up Timmay for either of them.
By the way Philly fans. He has 4 primary pitches- Fastball, Curve, Slider, and a Change up. The great thing about Timmay is that he can throw any pitch in any count and mix veolcity, movement, speed and location. That is why he leads the league in K's.
