Back up the brinks truck!!

If the Baltimore Orioles want to show the fans they are trying to be respectable, they should put a full court press on soon to be free agent LHP Cliff Lee as soon as the free agent signing period begins.  I know he probably wont end up coming here, but the worst thing he can do is say no.  You put Lee at the top of the Orioles starting rotation in front of Brian Matusz, Jake Arrieta, and Jeremy Guthrie, you would have a pretty impressive staff.  Have you seen what Lee has done in the playoffs the last two years?  He's now 6-0 lifetime in the postseason.  I know he'll turn 33 next season, and I'm usually someone who preaches fiscal responsibility, but the bidding for Lee STARTS at four years $80 million.
