According to the Miami Herald.
"There’s an outside chance Carlos Lee could turn out to be more than just a second-half “rental” for the Marlins. Lee is not only happy with the Marlins, but a source said his agent has spoken to the team about a possible return. “I like this team,” Lee said. “I don’t know what their plans are, but I like it here.”
The 36-year-old first baseman is set to become a free agent after the season, and the Marlins are giving strong consideration to moving Logan Morrison to first base. But Lee has produced exactly as the Marlins envisioned when they acquired him in a July 4 trade with Houston. Since joining the Marlins, Lee has hit .469 (15 for 32) with runners in scoring position. His 22 RBI since the All-Star break is the fourth-highest total in the National League. “It’s a lot more fun when you’ve got opportunities like you’ve got here,” Lee said. “It’s exciting to have guys in front of you, getting on base, stealing bases and creating opportunities.”

Fucking bullshit. In 31 games with the Marlins, he's had 32 ABs with RISP. In 66 games with the Astros, he had 64 ABs with RISP. It may be "more fun" in Miami, Carlos, but it's not because of the RISP opportunities.
And if Miami is in love with a slow-ass first baseman slugging .364, then more power to them.

Raving, foaming at the mouth, racist, jingoist bigotry.

All the fucks I now give about Carlos Lee:
-
If Carlos Lee can get another big league contract with his level of power production (or lack thereof) at the first base position, then God bless him.

Good for Carlos. Happiness is a good thing.

What about his quote made you angry, exactly?

I've never been very good at math, but it looks like Carlos wasn't wrong. Besides, he didn't say it wasn't fun with the Astros and he didn't say it was a lot more fun with the Marlins.

If baseball isn't fun any more, you should stop playing.

I agree. I think that he was very diplomatic, which is just what I expected from Carlos Lee. I'm glad that he's still having fun playing the game. And I wish him nothing but happiness and success.

I'm glad he's having fun playing the game too. I wish him nothing by happiness and success as well.
