For any of you Ranger fans that are squeamish about giving Cliff Lee 20+ million / year, this should ease your fears. I guarantee there isn't a fan out there who wouldn't take Greg Maddux in his 30's. Well, Cliff Lee = Greg Maddux. Relax and pay him the money.

Please don't post a Bleacher Report article to defend any position. That website is a complete joke. Any J/O can write for that site. Just one example...

I think most would agree that BBTiA gives excellent Rangers analysis. Please don't pollute the excellent Rangers coverage with that garbage.

Gee, never heard the Greg Maddux comp before.

Hard to comp anyone to Maddux what with his five inches off the black strikezone and the expert doctoring of the ball.

@WSGJ....irregardless of your opinion of Bleacher Report in general, i was merely pointing out that the writer of the article had made some very valid points on why the Rangers would not be out of line with offering Cliff Lee a 6 year deal for big money. Low Risk, High Reward kind of thing. i was basically trying to start a talking point regarding that topic....your opinion of Bleacher Report has no bearing on what i was talking about. so take your snooty attitude somewhere else.
