Cliff Lee is undoubtedly the biggest free agent name on the market this offseason, and with good reason. The 32-year old hits almost every key point on the checklist for a must-have pitcher: He's a dominant, left-handed starting pitcher, who's capable of striking guys out or getting players to ground out and is in the midst of his prime.

Lee's a great pitcher, to be sure; but is he, or any pitcher for that matter, worth a contract of that magnitude? We're taking a look at both sides of the argument, giving you five reasons why no one is worth that kind of money, and five reasons why Lee is the exception to the rule.
