Pudge is the man also though

I just find it wierd, that there are so many Lee haters and Pudge fans, when in reality, Lee has driven in more people. Not to mention stolen more bases and played better defense. All they remember is DLee's RISP B.A. versus Pudges.

 

 

Oh Well, I hope he (Lee) gets more respect in the league as a hitter soon.

I'd like to join. :D

 

I dont really have a grudge with anyone on the marlins....atleast now.

 

 

Loop is still my favorite pitcher . (non-starter) even though he pitched horribly.. We're always looking for members, no one seems to want to join.....

I see him and Lee as virtual equals overall (all five tools). I never said one was better than the other. Yet while Lee has his polar opposites support wise, Juan gets no support period.

 

I'd also like to add that I noticed today thanks to my fantasy team that Juan Encarnacion has made all of 0 errors defensively. Couple that with a not so bad average, better than expected power numbers and as mentioned RBI totals (and his famed anti-aircraft missile sitting on his right shoulder) and you've got a poor man's Vlad Guerrero.

Lee is starting to heat up. Imaging if he was hitting good the whole year. He would have 100 + RBI's. I hope we can keep him next year but with Conine's big contract to 2005 he isnt staying.

 

Pudge has done very good with us since the first day. He has been hitting the ball hard when he hits it and thats what a 3rd hitter is suppose to do.

Pudge got off to a slow start at the start of the season(Even though he hit a HR on opening day.)...He was adjusting to the NL pitching.

I just find it wierd, that there are so many Lee haters and Pudge fans, when in reality, Lee has driven in more people. Not to mention stolen more bases and played better defense.Lee's problem with the Marlins is not that he's not a major league caliber ball player, it's his price tag. Comparing him to Pudge is foolish at best, their roles are completely different.

 

Regardless of his skills, regardless of how fulfilling this season may be for him on a professional level, D Lee's sole objective is to maximize his arbitration award this next year or to sign a (for example) three year $20+ million contract, thus providing his family with financial independence and security, which, if any of us were in his position at this point of his (our) careers would do the same. As long as baseball is saddled with an arbitration process that rewards one side or the other (no Solomon-like decisions) good players like Lee will eventually move on to greener pastures. It's not his fault, it's not the Marlins fault, this happens every year to many teams, Millwood and the Braves for example.

 

Most probably the Marlins will offer him arbitration in the off-season and trade him, perhaps to Baltimore or some other team with deep pockets, that way protecting his trade value. This is how babseball works, I hate it, but I can't change it so I accept it. I hope is does well, I hope more though that the Marlins do well, because when he's gone they'll be no crying over spilled milk as long as we continue to win.
