Derrek Lee to the Braves.

I hate the Braves.

[Seanie Mac]

**** !!

good move braves, touché

[bigsportsguy2006]

im guessing they send glaus to 3rd base and let dlee play first?

[Seanie Mac]

that's prob the only option

[bigsportsguy2006]

b. conrad back to riding the bench

[Seanie Mac]

Lee isn't an obvious platoon partner for Troy Glaus, since both players have a history of hitting left-handers a bit better than they hit right-handers. Glaus, a longtime third baseman, isn't considered an option at the hot corner anymore, but he has been slumping (.575 OPS in the last two months), so the Braves could replace him with Lee. Atlanta is looking at infielders because Chipper Jones is out for the season, but it would be surprising to see this deal completed.*

[rjb1816]

Well, Lee qualifies for something

RISP, with LESS than 2 outs, when there isn't as much pressure, hitting a solid .197

He has been a POS this season and coupled with Aramis' thumb injury has cost the Cubs dearly this season.

But I am sure you knew his great stats

[Seanie Mac]

Lee has been raking and I said it's a good move, but aramis not worth it
