Phillies get their ace in Roy Halladay, while Mariners wait on a Cliff Lee lift

"Former Cy Young winners Roy Halladay and Cliff Lee, the key parts in the biggest and most complex trade of the off-season, have surfaced in different shades of sunlight.

Halladay has had an immediate affect on Philadelphia. A strained abdominal muscle suffered in spring training caused Seattle to wait on Lee, but he's back now.

The Phillies, who acquired Lee from the Indians last season when they couldn't get Halladay from Toronto, finally landed the former Toronto star. He was the pitcher they wanted all along and they have not been disappointed.

He's 6-1 with a 1.45 ERA. He's struck out 49, walked seven and allowed 46 hits in 56 innings for the NL East-leading Phillies.

Lee, 4-0 for the Phillies in the postseason last year, just returned to the Mariners' rotation. He's 0-1 in two starts with a 2.40 ERA. He's struck out 13 and allowed four earned runs in 15 innings."
