you guys are acting like carlos lee is some mute puppet prone to move and contort whichever way his puppetmaster sees fit. doesn't he own a ranch in or near houston?
my guess is that he'll take one look at the crawford boxes (which... ya know, he's probably already seen, really, but, for dramatic effect) and think, "i wouldn't mind abusing that like a saigon whore for the next 5-7 years. where do i sign?"
i mean, really, when you think about it, neither the doodle dandys nor the northeastern bandwagon need a LF, so who among the useless leftover flotsam could overpay lee and provide a great fit not to mention proximity to his ranch in or near houston?
