Meh, I get why Lee is doing it. He's 36 years old. If he gets Tommy John, he'll be a 37 year old pitcher probably needing to take a cheap one-year deal. Instead he'll hope he can keep it together and be good enough to earn a multiyear contract. If he gets 200 innings this year he's locked in with Philly for 2016 at like $25 million or something...so he has incentive.

Frankly I don't see a chance in hell the Phillies let him reach that many innings even if he winds up staying healthy.
