KipWellsFan Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 I feel sorry for Heather Lee, but this isn't a horrible trade. RIght handed power hasn't won us games and Kenny is going for something else. People! Stop jumping off cliffs! Plus the ptbnl could be a solid prospect.

SnB Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 i'm not that unhappy w/ this deal, if we get a nice SP w/ that money, then fine, if not, this hurts us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskyCaucasian Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 This is a huge salary relief on top of what we get in players. We now have almost $10 million to spend. How much do the new guys make? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 :headshake losing both corners in an out field that wasn't strong in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi8is Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 it seems we got someone with speed from hell... a great 2b platoon vs LHP option... maybe a PTBNL.. and saved about 6 million to add to the 4 million we have left... meaning KW got all that and also has 10 million to go get another starter.... which im sure he will ill REALLY miss lee, but this trade just might work out to give us a few missing dynamics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted December 13, 2004 Author Share Posted December 13, 2004 Ginter is a middle Infielder, IIRC. Will he start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Unfortunately, for one season, Podsednik (sp?) was a good leadoff hitter -- that's it, just one year. Other than that, he's mediocre. So he steals some bases. It isn't worth it if he only gets on base at a .320 clip... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoda Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 I am not very happy with this trade but I will try to calm down. Let's not forget that his home turf will now be U.S. CELLULAR FIELD. That is a hitter's park right there. He may do better than he did with Milwaukee. Plus, we were asking for a leadoff hitter who can steal some bases... well we got it. Getting Podsenik and Ginter may not be bad, I think. *tries to calm the hell down* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevHead0881 Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 I like CLee, but seriously folks, what the hell did you expect to get for a power hitting left fielder? Sorry, but players like Carlos are a dime a dozen. Guys who steal 70 bases aren't. Also think of the money this opens up. This deal doesn't overly excite me, but I don't think it's a bad one.

thomsonmi Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Both of them made about $1 million combined in 2004. I'm not sure what their 2005 salaries are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenSox Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 i'm not that unhappy w/ this deal, if we get a nice SP w/ that money, then fine, if not, this hurts us. More likely, the savings will go to JR's minority investors. Only in Williams world is a willie harris clone worth a carlos lee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greasywheels121 Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Well I was thinking of putting Caballo and a couple others in my new sig...I'm glad I made it a Frank exclusive. Be patient on this. KW has to have something else going on. He wouldn't think this one move would better our club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
