Cliff Lee, anyone?

The only deal I would offer Lee would be the same deal they gave Johan Santana last year... Minor League deal with an incentive heavy major league portion. Which I would happily offer him. There is a very real chance that Lee's arm just doesn't have anything left... he hasn't pitched in a year and a half and the last half year he pitched saw an across the board drop in velocity. So long as the risk is completely mitigated I'd try Lee out but I wouldn't guarentee anything.
Really the Jays have such an overpowering offense that I'd be satisfied if they just got an inning-eating mid-tier guy (basically a less expensive Buehrle).
