The Sox  knew this was coming with Lee.  Best hope is that there are multiple teams in need of a backup catcher, with no others available,  at the end of March.  Getz just needs to be patient and not give him away too soon. 

Mead shouldn't push out anyone. 

Others will be available at the end of March as well

I guess the question is what is the market for a back-up C regardless of need. I just cant imagine getting real prospects for him. I was thinking best possible scenario is an OF rosters number casualty from another team, albeit we may have those already as bad as our OF is. 

I still wouldnt be surprised if we roster Lee. The players on the 25 man at least have plenty of versatility, making it viable. Also wouldnt hate him playing more corner OF.

The only place that arm makes sense is in RF, but didn't they stick him in LF already once or twice?...that bat just doesn't play on a corner, though.

Judging by us getting Romo on Waivers, and then waiving him, I am going to go with zero.

I think you are overestimating Lee’s value.  Even if he is traded, it will be like a lottery ticket at most, cash considerations for Jerry, or a straight waiver claim.

This is where the current market for fringey back up catchers has been this winter.  Maybe someone who really NEEDS him at the end of ST, say due to injury or in camp flops, throws a bit of cash at Jerry to jump the waiver line, but I can't see him returning an actual player, and definitely not one of substance.

Yes, but he's better than most of the waiver wire catchers.

I prefer keeping Lee using Teal and Quero as much as they can. Enough of other teams low-balling our talent.
