caulfield12 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) You'd think of all our younger pitchers, Gio Gonzalez would be the one who would be most likely to suffer an injury. Hudson's wasn't as predictable as Brandon McCarthy's. Edited July 1, 2012 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 10:07 AM) He has a horse ranch in Houston? Maybe not horses, but cows and he is very serious about it. "Carlos Lee is 36 years old and a fairly serious businessman, and both of these factors seem to be working against the Dodgers at the moment. The Dodgers made an offer to the Houston Astros to acquire the slugging first baseman Lee, according to several reports Saturday. Minor-league pitcher Garrett Gould, scratched from his start Friday for Single-A Rancho Cucamonga, was among the assets reported to be going to Houston. Lee, however, has a clause in his contract that allows him to veto a trade to the Dodgers. His business aspirations may entice him to do just that. Lee, according to the Houston Chronicle, has invested hundreds of thousands of dollars into breeding cattle and owns several ranches. Many of his cattle live on a ranch about an hour southwest of Houston, and Lee lives between the ranch and Minute Maid Park. Since he's on the downside of a 14-year major-league career, Lee only figures to be more involved in the cattle business in the near future. Billionaire Drayton McLane, the former Astros owner, once told the Chronicle that Lee is "probably the most business-savvy baseball player I've ever spoken to.""
