Lee

While the Cliff Lee free agency wasn't as exciting as James/Wade/Bosh, he was the guy all baseball fans were keeping an eye on. All the talk was around the Yankees and Rangers, but he pulled a surprise decision to go with his former team, the Phillies... the team that shouldn't have let him go in the first place! My gut feeling was that he would stay with Texas. They did so well once they got him and it seemed like he was very comfortable there. The Yankees would have offered the most money, but personality-wise, I didn't see him enjoying playing in the city.

Although I would've liked to see Cliff Lee as a Yankee, the Phillies are the next best thing. the Yankees won't have to face him until the World Series. It's also nice to see players out there pick the best environment for themselves and their families, putting money aside as the primary reason.
