Sad to see D-Lee go, statistically the greatest 1B in franchise history

I feel the same.

 

[JustinTCB]

No Cubs 1B with as many career PA as Lee had a higher career OPS. Most homers ever by a Cubs 1B.

Grace, Frank Chance, Cap Anson only comparables.

Would be sad if we didn't suck so bad.

the press conference was great. he looked happy. he will get a standing ovation friday.

Harris and Lorick both look decent. Lopez seems a little shaky. Anyone know where they'll end up, Daytona, Iowa, etc?

 

[tbo41fan]

My guess is Daytona

Too bad I have work to see that.

 

[waldo7239117]

Lopez: Peoria or Daytona
Harris: Smokies:
Lorick: Daytona or Smokies

That's what I think.

sad to see him go but we got something good out of him and he came out on good terms..guess its the end of an era/changing of the guard.....now we need to build around some of this young talent we have...get a 1B(I just dont like Colvin at 1B...i dont trust it)....

Lopez from what I've read, has Chris Archer stuff. He just needs to work on his control a bit.

He was a solid defensive first baseman and he did have some productive years for the Cubs with the bat. My problem with him was his so called leadership. If he was any kind of leader on this club like I kept hearing, he would've been more vocal about the lifeless effort from his team mates and more critical of guys like Milton Bradley and Carlos Zambrano, just to mention a few. Also not hitting his weight for most of the season sure didn't help matters. Also was disappointed that when it came down to the playoffs, he was nowhere to be found. He was a class act and I do appreciate that about him. So I guess you can say I have mixed feelings about this. Overall though, I would really like to see them clean house!
