It would be tough to lose Cliff Lee. His loss at the Phillies might put too much pressure on Halladay. Then add in affect of his switch to the NL, it may be a difficult first season.

Remember Lee did get the two wins for the Phillies in the World Series. But it's a good time to trade now.
Halladay thrives under pressure. Being in the AL East, one has to be used to pressure. He faced the Yankees, Red Sox, and Tampa Bay numerous times, and all three teams had potent offenses.

He will help the other pitchers immensely. His work ethic is unparalled. Cole Hamels(SP?) will benefit from him big-time. Halladay won't put up with his pouting and will set him straight.
