MLB Rumors: A Few Cliff Lee Consolation Prizes

Now that Cliff Lee has signed a huge contract with the Philadelphia Phillies, other teams that were in the sweepstakes for Lee are suddenly left scrambling for another pitcher to fill their need. 

That pitcher could come through a trade or free agency.  

Zack Greinke is being shopped by the Royals, and if a team is willing to give up some top prospects, they could use his arm next year. 

Still on the free agent market are plenty of pitchers, some better than others. Some carry risks but high rewards, while others will give you fairly predictable production. 

For the New York Yankees, Texas Rangers, Washington Nationals, Los Angeles Angels, and others who missed out on Lee, these are some of your options.
