he doesnt HAVE to they prefer to let him go...if u plan on gettin rid of enc and looper or ugie and redman and either castillo or pudge then wheres the money at?

D.Lee stats look good but stats don't tell whole story on D.Lee at the plate.

we are getting rid of alot of people man...

well get ready for firesale number 2 if they plan on gettin rid of all those ppl they have a payroll supposebly of 60mill then wheres to dinero at?

let me get this strait ramp...7mill for a gold glove winner who hit 270. 31HR 94 rbi is to much but Pudge who did not win gold glove his 295. 16 hr 85 Rbi and is commanding 10 mill a year or a lil less is worth it? Explain that to me? there is no explanation and dont come up with leader or w/e .a leader isnt worth 2 or 3 mill

I guess you didn't watch the play offs. . .

that was his first time in the post season and with the experience he gained there he will be better next year ..when the cubs are there with him

If we could've kept Lee for $3 or 4 million less, I would've been all for it. Hell, if I had the pockets of Steinbrenner, re-signing Lee at $7 mil. would've been a no-brainer. However, neither of those scenarios describe us. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do....

Sheff....for this statement alone...i brand you "Lord of the Bandwaggon Fans"

 

Congratulations, your comments and insights have lowered this board's IQ 5 points

Hey ramp..can u ever be not so opinionated...this team is built around speed defense and pitching!! and lee can run and play D.And yes Miami15 was right he is the ultimate marlin who stuck with it in those horrible years for 7 mill these days with this market he is well worth it im my opinion..id rather have him for 7 mill than pudge for the 8 or 9 he wants..u can quote that.I love Lee and did everthing right! the cubs just got a whole lot better!

yea he was the ultimalte marlin. I remember all the bad remarks he made when Floyd was trade how he wanted out too. Im going to miss that loyal marlin.

 

 

BTW: pudge is worth it because he's a future HOF who can still play. He also plays great D has a great arm calls a good game and could hit which is a bonus specially if they are HOF numbers.

Hey ramp..can u ever be not so opinionated...

 

Don't listen to them!

 

And DurableTear... don't believe for a second that Beckett is better than Prior. Or ever will be. :ban

umm burnettheat shut it cuz i wasnt signed up on these forums when floyd was traded..and all u haters calling everyone bandwagon cuz they dont agree with u better check urselfs because little do u know u are prob way younger than us and not been following the marlins as long as a lot of us..im 19 and have following the fish since day uno! so b4 u go around throwing the word bandwagon check urself cuz u probably hopped on the wagon in early october.

I didnt know he was traded on October 7th

espo, you're asking for it

 

What?????????????? Ugh, you guys need some booz. Why not head to Chicago?

 

Oh wait, I'm not helping ymself. :banghead

i said i wasnt here when floyd was traded some guy up there was sayin i was talkin crap when floyd got traded..i was not here so read clearly

Why can't you people just talk instead of getting all up in arms. Afraid to debate the great Mark Prior in fear that I will shut you guys down?

Come on!!!!!! I'm not causin trouble. ARGUING BASEBALL IS FUN!

hey espo shhh not to loud they might ban u ..ohhhhhh...hey just speak ur mind these ppl on these boards since i joined cant take it when some 1 speaks about something they dont agree with so they bust out with ban or saying ur a bandwagon ive heard it all and am prob the biggest marlin fan in here..i just let them talk and ignore them

Come on!!!!!! I'm not causin trouble. ARGUING BASEBALL IS FUN! You wanna have a debate about the great Mark Prior that we torched in the 8th inning of the NLCS? against Josh Beckett the man that shut the Cubbies down in Game 5 and 7.

 

Bring it.

Derrek Lee is a great player, and a great man. I will root for him (and no other Cubs) to get a hit, even when we play them.

 

And can you say "Preston Wilson in '03 = Lee in '04."

Sorry, but it's against my moral, logical, and religious beliefs to ever root for a cub to do well.

I am going to miss Lee in that black and teal. Its not going to be the same with out him holding down first base.

 

But I think it was the best for the team because this allows us to keep more important parts of the team.

 

Also I dont think he would have improved much more unless he played in a hitters park or at least no PPS.

Exactly. Lee was not going to improve much more - at least not to the height of his paycheck. Not here. He is a class act and will be missed in that regard, but Choi is a solid prospect who actually may be better offensively. I think this is a very shrewd move by Beinfest.

dont like it one bit..i understand we not not afford him but i cant stand ppl sayin yea its a good deal..no it wasnt we gave up a hell of a player for an unproven biatch. Theres only so far potential can take u and i think choi will be a flop
