The could try Colvin...they could also call up LaHair and they Hoffpauir now.

But if you do that (Colvin) now, you are stuck with Fukudome or Fuld in RF.

Maybe Kosuke will do good and they will showcase him in that way. Then, it will be eaiser to trade him in the offseason if the Cubs eat half of his contract.

Gonna miss you D-Lee. Great dude when he was here...but have to move onto younger, more athletic players. His glove won't be replaced, however.

Nightmares... At least Theriot is gone then. Him throwing to any other 1B would result in an error 9 times out of 10 (obvious exaggeration).

Lee was/is a paper tiger. They should have traded him this past offseason when he was worth more.

They had no reason to trade him in the offseason.

Who cares about athleticism when you're talking about pitchers.

Pretty sure he meant at 1b. Obviously we didn't get any 1b in the trade, but our next 1b will presumably be younger and more athletic.

OF Sam Fuld recalled to take Lee's spot on the roster. Hoffpauir has to be in the minors at least 10 days after he was sent down.

The Cubs are paying 1.7M of the 3.4M left on Lee's contract.

Muskat said Hoffpauir would be yup today, she made a mistake.

Derrek Lee not it ATL lineup, Hinske will play 1B for them today. I do not know if Lee stayed in Chicago or not. But, Lee is expected to be in lineup at Wrigley on Friday.

He definitely is in Chicago. No purpose in flying out to not even play and just to fly right back to Chicago.

That's what I'm thinking, but he could just fly out to meet him team mates and get his jersey.
