Cliff Lee

to the A's. Imagine what kind of sick, inhumane numbers he could put up at the spacious Coliseum, especially with the A's defense behind him. A 1-2-3 of Lee, Brett Anderson and Ben Sheets isn't too bad, 4 starter would be Gio and the five would be Cahill.

But realistically I believe he will be a Cincinnati Red. Yonder Alonso as the centerpiece surrounded by maybe Boxberger and Maloney, one righty and one lefty arm. The Reds will have the money to be able to sign Lee longterm. With a core of Votto, Bruce, Phillips, Stubbs, Frazier, Janish, Leake, Lee and a few others, the Reds could become a powerhouse in the Central.

As good as the Cardinals are, the Reds have the opportunity to be better.

Other Lee suitors:

Yankees

Angels
Twins
Phillies

but he could ultimately go to the Rangers in a deal not including Justin Smoak or Neftali Feliz. It could be Perez, it could be Davis, it could be one of their millions of a prospects as a centerpiece and another prospect or two on the side. Maybe not that high of a price, I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
