qwerty Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Rolen for Lee I think it's fair and St. Louis needs in OF. Rolen is not putting up mvp type numbers or anything. Also third base is a much harder position to fill then left field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Hudler Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Not a chance in hell that is happening. Rolen is as entrenched in St. Louis as any player is anywhere. He is a perfect fit for that club and loves it there. Rolen is likely a future Hall of Famer and a current multiple time Gold Glover.

Gene Honda Civic Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Rolen - $74.3MIL over the next 6 seasons including $9.75 next year. Lee - $8.MIL next year, renewable for 8.75 in 06. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I wasn't advocating trying to acquire him. I just stated a simple fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Hudler Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 That thought did cross my mind as well. FWIW, I umpired a couple of games Rolen played in high school. He was also a very good basketball player, who was headed to the University of Georgia to play both basketball and baseball before he signed with Phillies. His home is less than 4 hours from St. Louis and he is just a perfect fit for that city, organization, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are very good at keeping their fans happy by keeping fan favorites and not possibly letting get away. Ala albert pujols. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
