Phillies Sent a Scout to See Lee

According to Ken Rosenthal, the Phillies were among four teams who sent a scout to New York to watch Cliff Lee pitch his third consecutive complete game.
So, let me guess this straight, we're still interested in Clifton (great!), but why send the scout? Maybe if the Phillies didn't trade him in the first place, they wouldn't have to send someone up to New York to tell them "yeah, he's still good."
It doesn't appear like the Phillies are major contenders for Lee (the Mets and the Twins are), but we wouldn't be discussing this if the Phils didn't trade him for minor leaguers in the off-season.
Still mind boggling.
