Phillies Pick Up Option On Cliff Lee

In a rather unsurprising move, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports that the Phillies have picked up their team option on pitcher Cliff Lee. After coming over from Cleveland in a midseason trade, Lee established himself as the Phillies' best starter, with a 3.39 ERA. While Lee struggled over the season's last month, he reverted to form during the playoffs, posting a 1.56 ERA during the postseason.

Zolecki also reports that the Phillies have not yet made a decision about whether to pick up third baseman Pedro Feliz's option. Philadelphia has until Monday to make a decision on Feliz.
