The Phillies are 11-7 since the front office added Lee, and he has four of those wins without suffering a loss. The effect Lee has on the Phillies becomes more significant when teams use four-man rotations in the playoffs. He certainly boosts his team's chances of advancing in the postseason.

The headline doesn't seem to fit the article, however, as you do not discuss the effect Lee has had on the Phillies. Assuming that it means "repeat as World Champions", I find it very difficult to imagine that they can do so with Brad Lidge as their closer. Excellent overview of Lee, Thom.
