Yeah, why doesn't it surprise me that these "prospects" they got for Lee aren't panning out.

Still can't believe this guy (Amaro) let him go.

I know the guy has made some good moves with the club ... but he had a chance to have two bona-fide killers at the top of the rotation while going for a second world championship in three seasons ... and the genius let Lee go for those great prospects.

AMEN
