Cliff Lee

Cliff Lee is my kind of pitcher. A tall left-hander out of Benton, Arkansas, he carved out thirteen big-league seasons across Cleveland, Philadelphia, Seattle, and Texas with command that bordered on surgical. He was never the loudest star; he simply attacked the zone, refused to walk anyone, and dared hitters to beat him. I have always preferred that quiet, fearless style to flame-throwing theatrics, and his October performances became the stuff of legend. There is a particular kind of cool in a pitcher who trusts his stuff enough to challenge the very best, and Lee had it in abundance.
