I'm going to miss the big elephant after he retires.
HOUSTON — Astros slugger Carlos Lee reiterated Wednesday night what he first said a year ago, hinting that he might retire when his six-year, $100-million contract expires following the 2012 season, citing family reasons. Lee, 35, entered the final game of the season with 94 RBIs.

“I want to spend more time with my kids,” Lee said. "This business, it’s kind of tough to spend more time with the family. People don’t realize that when [the team is home], the kids are at school. When you get up, they’re already gone, and when you come back, they’re sleeping.

“To see your kids Friday, Saturday and Sunday is tough. If I had to really decide now, I’d stay home.”

Carlos Lee is getting 18.5 mil next season

The greater Houston area population is by all accounts between 5-6 million. Lets round that down to 5 mil…. if we could get everyone to donate 3 dollars and 70 cents we could buy him out and he could retire a season early. Sounds good to me.

by Crzycjunx76 on Sep 28, 2011 9:24 PM CDT up reply actions  

I would not be against this.

He is not a bad person, but he’s taking up a spot that could be occupied by either Brett Wallace, Matt Downs, or like Timmy suggested, Chris Johnson.

by mike_o on Sep 28, 2011 9:26 PM CDT up reply actions  

I really do not think CJ's bat will ever be better than below average on the whole

simply because his contact rate and strikeout numbers will always keep him from having a decent OBP… but I have always thought he would make a decent “power bat” off the bench sub for COF/CIF.

by Crzycjunx76 on Sep 28, 2011 9:31 PM CDT up reply actions  

So if we went with the 10% it would be $37 a piece

and if we went with the 3% it would be the $123.33

I dont think we could get over $100 out of anyone but the $37 might be doable… all of this is tongue and cheek but I still think he is actually trad-able anyway. Dont laugh… Fangraphs says he was worth $13.5 mil this season… I think that is absurd but say he is worth a little less than half of that $6 mil… I think eating $12.5 mil of his deal and trading him (dont really care for what) is well worth it. $6 mil can go a long way in stop gap players (with potential trade value) or prospect acquisition… I imagine we will be trading Wandy and Myers as well so we should have plenty of cash to really get our rebuild of the system going.

Honestly Paredes, Altuve, and Martinez

could possibly stand to go to AAA if stopgaps (guys who could be traded for minor pieces if they perform) are signed on the cheap.

They all need to work on their approach at the plate… not a single one managed an OBP above .330. Granted it was a small sample.

Same thing with some of our young pitchers, I know we are excited about them being in the majors and all, but some things are easier to work on in the minors.

I'm on the bandwagon

I’m willing to admit it, I want the Rays to go all the way. The did this without Pena, Crawford, and more, and a $41 million payroll. One downside is I can’t imagine Andrew Friedman coming to Houston after this…

your totally right Pat. I think Joe Madden got so lucky tonight with Dan Johnson.

It's so hilarious, because Crawford kept taking pot-shots at the Rays organization...

And now his overpaid butt gets to watch that same organization in the postseason, from the comfort of his luxurious living room.
