ADDENDUM: Colletti Is Rewarded?

I have no idea what the Dodgers actually offered for Cliff Lee, only rumors and only that they were willing to let Lee go for players other than Kershaw, Ethier and Kemp. I did hear that the prospect the Indians so highly coveted turned out to be a piece of crap, and I know Colletti SAYS he made a better offer, but what was it? In other words, I want to know exactly why Philly is going to the World Series again and we're staying home? And what excuse for not signing Pedro, if for any reason, only to keep Philly from getting him? Let's face it. Colletti's acquisition of Padilla was made because Kuroda got nailed in the noggin, the Dodgers needed another body on the mound and Bowa wanted him. Colletti was, in no way, interested in Vicente, but I'm sure he's taking the credit for whatever successes they're having with Padilla. As far as Colletti was concerned, Padilla was just supposed to be an innings eater who wasn't even expected to make the post season roster. It was an accident that he turned out to be any good. Meanwhile, Ruben Amaro Jr didn't wait for any happy accidents. He got the two arms he knew he needed to take into the post season: Cliff Lee is a stud and everyone knows what Pedro has accomplished in October. Colletti, meanwhile, went the bargain route (and in Pedro's case, the stupid route, because Pedro came fairly cheap) and now we're all paying the price. And today, Colletti was handsomely rewarded for another failure, another 2nd place finish. Not such a great fall anymore, is it?
