C.J. Wilson names a very good reason why Texas doesn’t need to beat other offers for Cliff Lee:

If Boston offers him X amount of dollars and we offer him X amount of dollars, if it’s the same, than he’ll probably chose us over Boston. Because of the good times that he had and the fact that the state income taxes are negligible here.”

All those Red Sox fans that voted against Question 3 on election day are going to be sorry when Boston loses Lee. 🙂 It’s even worse in New York.
