February 28, 200422 yr well derek has just signed a 3 year 22.5 mill contract with the cubs..u may ask y i posted this in the marlins forums well thats cuz in my heart derek is still a marlin and will always be..hes to easily forgotten and is the player i hated to see go the most.. and thats y it kills me to see him wearing this.... :banghead
February 28, 200422 yr Yeah I'm gonna miss him a lot too, especially his defensive plays at 1st. He was one of my faves, even though he pissed me off at the bat sometimes. It's really too bad but we just had to get his money off our back and I'm sure Choi will make up for him. I hope so.
February 28, 200422 yr Oh and I wish him the best of luck with the Cubs, even though I hate the Cubs, I still hope he has a great season..just not against us.
February 28, 200422 yr Author i dont think choi will ever fit lee's shoes imo...and i blame pudge for lee leaving if pudge would have said no from the beginning we would have kept lee!!
February 28, 200422 yr Author say wut u want Lcastillo but u are just in denial like the many others..give lee his credit! just cuz hes not a marlins doesnt mean u gotta rag on everyone that leaves...no 1 said a thing about pudge till he left..ppl can be suck hypocrites...no matter what u say u know lee is better and will always be better than choi period..
February 28, 200422 yr guess we have 2 wait and see if cabrera can be moved to 1st base sometime in the future (sort of a pujols situation) or just wait and see what jason stokes can do (if choi doesnt live up to expectations)
February 28, 200422 yr say wut u want Lcastillo but u are just in denial like the many others..give lee his credit! just cuz hes not a marlins doesnt mean u gotta rag on everyone that leaves...no 1 said a thing about pudge till he left..ppl can be suck hypocrites...no matter what u say u know lee is better and will always be better than choi period.. I dont hear anyone ragging on Redman. Sure, It would've been nice to have Lee, but to keep Lee the team would've had to make sacrifices that could've cost us. Lee Leaving will not effect our team...copy and print that. thinking logically, I and any other fan that realized the situation accurately wouldnt argue that Lee for Choi is a good move that would help the team
February 28, 200422 yr It's so funny how a couple of people on this board have already decided that Choi is gonna be a bust. How about we let the guy play a game for us before you say anything. Because I know the people that say he's going to be a bust haven't seen him pley in more than maybe one game.
February 28, 200422 yr Author lee=8 mill??? ummm he only makes 8 mill in his final year and only 5 mill his first year and 7 his second..imo hes well worth the 5 mill and 7 mill and we would not have to sacrifice anything cuz what did we do with the money we offered pudge? nothin that money could have gone to Lee. we used the money to sign some backups and still have money left
February 28, 200422 yr Moved to the appropriate board Btw... for all the Lee lovers... Move on... I'm already sick and tired about this...
February 28, 200422 yr he did not have that contract with FLa, and his possible arbritration number was presumed to be as much as $8 million. we will never know if he would have won or whatever but in the logn run getting a servicable first baseman in Choi who makes scale freed up money to make sure all the pitchers ( Penny Pavano AJ ) would not have to be traded or non tendered. it will always be a matter of opinion so good for Lee and good managemnt by Loria and Beinfest...
February 28, 200422 yr lee=8 mill??? ummm he only makes 8 mill in his final year and only 5 mill his first year and 7 his second..imo hes well worth the 5 mill and 7 mill and we would not have to sacrifice anything cuz what did we do with the money we offered pudge? nothin that money could have gone to Lee. we used the money to sign some backups and still have money left Yeah but we have also have Stokes in the minors who can be just as good as Lee and now we have Choi who also could be as good as Lee. Even if the front office knew Pudge was gone for sure they probably would have still traded Lee.
February 28, 200422 yr I guess I'm a "Lee Lover" but I definitely moved on. And I don't think Choi will be a bust. I haven't seen him play so I don't know and I'm not gonna make any predictions. I was just saying that I wish him the best and I'll miss him..sue me damn.
February 28, 200422 yr Author I LOVE LEE and for the hell of it i will bring it up everymonth and make a thread about it!
February 28, 200422 yr I LOVE LEE and for the hell of it i will bring it up everymonth and make a thread about it! Is that going to bring him back?
February 28, 200422 yr I LOVE LEE and for the hell of it i will bring it up everymonth and make a thread about it! Go be a Cubs fan then.
February 28, 200422 yr Choi + Cordero= Around 2 mil (not sure how much Cordero signed or how much Choi is gettin even though I know it aint much) Lee= 5.5 mil Both of those guys can match Lee's offensive production from last year and the only thing that will sag is the defense but Choi aint no slouch at first according to scouts.
February 28, 200422 yr Who's Derrek Lee? Yeah I guess we should all think like that now just because he's not a Marlin
