I wonder if the Sox front office is getting sick of losing amid this parade of bringing guys up like Teel, Meidroth, Elko, etc. Used to be the owners had a lot of pride in having a respected organization. For instance Reinsdorf liked to beat Ewing Kauffman's Royals and beat the Cubs. Now no big deal as long as the $$s are flowing in. Maybe enuf losing is enuf to Jerry.

Am I crazy to think they should just keep Lee as a backup catcher?  He’s still pretty young but would he even return that much in a trade?  Also, isn’t it possible that one of Quero/Teel becomes more of a 1B/DH if they both wind up being very good hitters and you want both starting?  All three could catch and it would keep them all fresh.  I’d rather have a third catcher with an arm and some pop on the roster than scrubs like Crapa and Palacios.

There are worse things than to have three young guys rotate at C/DH/1B.

But c'est la vie.

Does Lee have options left? Trading him away feels premature, even though it’s tough to roster 3 catchers. I just don’t see them getting anything more useful in trade.

They just used his last option. Lee can be brought up and down this year, but next year, he would have to be exposed to waivers.

Calling Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard!

Jerome Howard (Curly) was my boyhood idol. The parents of a friend of mine actually met Curly in the mid 1940s. They said he was crazy.
