July 9, 200323 yr This trade would be amazingly beautiful and perfect for each team. That's all I have to say...
July 9, 200323 yr This trade would be amazingly beautiful and perfect for each team. That's all I have to say... only if we get Lightenberg !
July 9, 200323 yr This trade would be amazingly beautiful and perfect for each team. That's all I have to say... only if we get Lightenberg ! They would never pay for Conine AND give us Lightenberg. As long as they pay for almost all of Conine, it'a a perfect deal.
July 9, 200323 yr Conine > Lee so we would win even if it's just a swap of contracts. we get a good, solid 1B long term for less than we would pay Lee.
July 9, 200323 yr This trade would be amazingly beautiful and perfect for each team. That's all I have to say... only if we get Lightenberg ! They would never pay for Conine AND give us Lightenberg. As long as they pay for almost all of Conine, it'a a perfect deal. We have prospects to get Lightenberg. Anyways in that article they said that the Orioles are willing to part with Lightenberg, and we are looking for bullpen help so you have to think they are discussing it.
July 9, 200323 yr I dont think the trade would be a goos idea...d.lee is a great defensive 1st baseman and he can hit also..i think we should stick with what has gotten us this far.
July 9, 200323 yr Conine is a better Run Producer than Derek. The Only thing Lee has that conine doesnt is defense but Conine hits well with men on base and he will drive in alot of runs. Also we will not increase our salary since Derek Lee will make more next season. I hope we can make this deal. He will be a good Asset to this Club.
July 9, 200323 yr Lightenberg would complement Phelps in those 6/7th inning situations...cause after that its ARMANDO + LOOP time!

I agree...Lee isn't going to be here next year and he doesn't perform anywhere near Conine with the bat.
July 9, 200323 yr The Only thing Lee has that conine doesnt is defense Lee has speed, too... But the deal is great for either team...
July 9, 200323 yr The Orioles and Florida Marlins are discussing a deal that would send the 37-year-old Conine to his former team for first baseman Derrek Lee, a gifted 27-year-old slugger whose left-handed power stroke would be a suitable fit at Camden Yards. i think the O's are talking bout Travis Lee from the D-Rays and we all think it Derrek Lee from the Fish ... :confused :whistle That's why you're not paid to think... too bad u think u know everything and cant work in anything big.. dont worry im start working for ESPN / Baseball tonight soon
July 9, 200323 yr I agree...Lee isn't going to be here next year and he doesn't perform anywhere near Conine with the bat. Thank god you people dont run the FO! lol they were going to do the trade as a salary dump because they thought the red sox series was a disaster. It should be off the table now that we are in serious contention. So if Conine is some superior offensive monster why isnt the deal happening? Because we are in contention and the FO knows Lee has more value.
July 9, 200323 yr too bad u think u know everything and cant work in anything big.. dont worry im start working for ESPN / Baseball tonight soon For one, I was being sarcastic. Two, I'll see you in Bristol, Conn. by the time I'm 25.

These things take time, I'm sure both teams want to get things absolutely perfect, and it's just a rumor it's not like they're saying anythings final.

Stop your whining, LEE SUCKS compared to Conine. Thank God you don't run the front office, you were one of those who thought the Clement/Alfonseca/Willis/Tavarez trade was horrible and a steal for the Cubs right? SHUT UP!
July 9, 200323 yr So if Conine is some superior offensive monster why isnt the deal happening? Because we are in contention and the FO knows Lee has more value. If these talks began after the Boston series, why would they be surfacing NOW? Admit it, this deal is perfect considering the current and future aspects.

July 9, 200323 yr Lee get a 3 million dollar raise next year don't he? Conine will help us money wise and with his clutch hitting. We not gonna have Lee next year anyways hes way too much money to hang on to.
July 9, 200323 yr Lee get a 3 million dollar raise next year don't he? Conine will help us money wise and with his clutch hitting. We not gonna have Lee next year anyways hes way too much money to hang on to. Plus the Orioles will most likely pay for most/all of Conines contract this year and next.
July 9, 200323 yr This would be a win-win deal. For the Marlins they... 1)Dump some salary, 2)Get a great player to improve the offense, 3)Bring back one of our franchise's greatest players.

Again "clutch" hitting is a myth of the uninformed. Not trying to insult anyone there its just a strong opinion I have and statistics back this up big time. I dont appreciate your post capefish as i once respected you. Only thing I have to say is Lee's career OPS is better then Conine's. And his season OPS is better.

Obviously not, because there is a difference when you are hitting with runners in scoring position and when there aren't runners on. Some people deal with pressure better and don't let it affect them, and some do let it affect them. So saying that clutch hitting doesn't exist is bull.
