Don't forget Roy Halladay

Everyone in Philadelphia is goo-goo-ga-ga over Cliff Lee, and rightfully so. Lee adds to a Phillies rotation many now consider one of the best starting rotations of all time.

But don't forget Roy Halladay.

Remember that guy?

If not, let me remind you what he accomplished last year: Cy Young award winner with 21 victories, perfect game, and playoff no hitter.

Pretty impressive.

Amazingly, not many people are talking about Halladay, who was the Phillies big acquisition after the 2009 season.

It's Lee, who the Phillies traded at the same time they acquired Halladay and then reacquired this past December, that has been the focus of many Phillies fans.

While Lee is a very good pitcher, remember that Halladay is even better.

If you need a reminder, think back to the Phillies first playoff game in 2010 against the Reds. Halladay dominated, throwing the first hitter since Don Larsen did in the 1956 World Series.

In 2010 Halladay became only the fourth pitcher to throw two no hitters in a season and the first since Nolan Ryan accomplished the feat in 1973.

So while it is certainly understandable that Lee has been the topic of conversation, Halladay is the Phillies true ace.
