Carlos Lee available


Recommended Posts

I don't think anyone was seriously mad at the Brewers for trading him, especially given the contract he got later from Houston (which pretty much everyone said was idiotic).

 

He would be intriguing because he would be fairly useful back in the Brewers lineup. Of course, his defense would not be an asset at all. Also, if we were to trade for him, we wouldn't want to give up much, and Houston would have to eat a large portion of his contract. So, it probably wouldn't work out.

 

Maybe he could go to either the Dodgers or Angels, if one loses out on both Manny and Tex.

That was such a dumb move by the Astros. Carlos Lee would have been a great pickup for an American League team. His defense is sooooo bad. It would almost be like us trotting Prince out in left field every day and watching balls drop in everywhere.

The worst part about it is that the Astros' offer wasn't even close to the others out there. Most were thinking 5/60 or something along those lines for Carlos, then the Astros came in with the 6th year when no one else was offering it.

I realize Carlos missed the last 7 weeks of the season, but he's been better as an Astro than he was as a Brewer. So, if the Astros thought he was worth that contract when they signed him, then they certainly shouldn't complain about his performance. He's arguably had his two best seasons and it hasn't all been a MinuteMaid effect.

Lee doesn't even try on most plays so not sure how you think he wouldn't be worse.
I think maybe he would be forced to try every play since a lolly pop pop fly to left is a little different than a 90 MPH fastball from Hardy, he'll have to try harder just to not get killed.
