Posted August 9, 200321 yr DLee injury has some in management very concern. They been making some calls about possible 1B. A name back in the picture could be Jeff Conine. Matt Stairs appears to be a long shot, as GM Littlefield jacks up the price to the Yankees to help Boston and his former Boss John Henry. He appears not willing to help Florida to make Beinfest and Loria look good. Its a pride thing. Eric Karros?? too much $$$ Cards 1B/OF Eduardo Perez is a name on the block for pitching. *side note Castillo won't be the only top 2B on the market in the off season Adam Kennedy will not be tender by the Angels ...just a thought. Also AJ Burnett is likely to be tender because a healthy AJ is very important to this club next season.
August 9, 200321 yr Cards 1B/OF Eduardo Perez is a name on the block for pitching. I was watching the cardinals game today and I saw Perez and I said to myself this guy could easily be a starter on any team, and at the time I said maybe he would be a good cheap replacement for Lee if we can't keep him next year. What would we give to get Perez? I would think they would want major league pitching.

August 10, 200321 yr i hope we dont hav the need to replace castillo.... but if we do Kennedy would be a good replacement
August 10, 200321 yr I would love to get Conine. Another Run Producer wont hurt. He would be good to this Ball club but the Orioles wont get Lee since he is injured right now so Stairs would be our choice.
August 10, 200321 yr you could also plug conine into left to give cabrera the occassional day off. probably right as well. or third.
August 10, 200321 yr I would love to get Conine. Another Run Producer wont hurt. He would be good to this Ball club but the Orioles wont get Lee since he is injured right now so Stairs would be our choice. Conine won't come here. He can veto a trade and he loves it in Baltimore...He said it himself during the "Derrek Lee trade rumors" that he wants to stay in Baltimore but he knows he has no say in it. After this season he does. I would have liked though he would help finacially (Lot less $$$ then Lee espicially since Lee gets a raise next year,Conine Jersey sales,etc.) Plus he would boost attendance... Not to mention him being a veteran "clutch hitting" all around solid first baseman. Do you think Admin Should have pulled the trigger on that "Lee-Conine deal"? :confused
August 10, 200321 yr Conine cannot veto any trade until after hte season when he becomes a 10/5 guy. he is not there yet.
August 10, 200321 yr So there is apparently some deep concern for Dlee's shoulder huh? Maybe he should just sit on the 15 day DL and let banks and Mordi rotate first for awhile? Shoulder injuries can nag on and on unless they get consistent rest. You guys thing he should go on DL?
August 10, 200321 yr if it affects him that much, then hell yea.... but i think 3 or 4 days rest could do the job
August 10, 200321 yr I don't think we should put him on the DL, his injury is just bad enough that he can't play without some pain. I think we should just have Banks start at first for like 4-5 games, and then hopefully Lee can come back. If that doesn't work, then he's going on the DL.
August 10, 200321 yr Plain and Simple Derek Lee is going to have to play in pain for the rest of this year. Hopfully he can overcome it and give us some solid production.
August 10, 200321 yr Perez? Very interesting. Just a few days ago I was arguing with a distinguished forum member herein that we needed a big-stick veteran to back up Lee (one who could also play some outfield.) When he said Lee would be back soon and thereafter would not have to sit out again this Season, I suggested he "patent his crystal ball." There may be several players who met the profile I presented. But, now I realize that Conine fits it perfectly. And I do not agree that Mr. Marlin is in love with Baltimore.
August 10, 200321 yr meh.... arnie if you're gonna call someone out DO IT and i meant what i said...if DLee comes back HEALTHY, he wont miss another game this year whats so wrong about that?
