Now it's Derrek Lee
Keep an eye on the Giants. They're a long shot to catch the Dodgers in the NL West but could have staying power in the wild-card race, especially if GM Brian Sabean gets them a hitter. Matt Cain, who lives in the shadow of pitching teammates Tim Lincecum, Barry Zito and Randy Johnson, is having a great season (8-1, 2.55). His 3.61 career ERA suggests he could pitch his way into Cy Young consideration. ... Could Derrek Lee be the hitter the Giants need? Sabean at least ought to kick the tires to see if Jim Hendry would consider approaching Lee about waiving his no-trade clause, as the Cubs have first-base options available to them in Micah Hoffpauir and Jake Fox.

At least he got the right player, unlike the guy in my link.
Merkin Valdez? Manuel Mateo? A rose by any other name...

He would probably cost too much in terms of trade value, and he is still set to earn $13 million in 2010.

One thing interesting about the names LaRoche and Lee is that the Giants are looking at 1b.

Is this surprising to you?

Si
Read that Lansford and Bochy seemed happy with the offense with Sandoval at 1b and Uribe at 3b

Apparently Sabean is not (and thank god).
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.

I think I’d rather have Hoffpauir or Fox at this point.

I don’t know. All that ice cream would just melt and it would be a big mess.

Sabean pulls off Burriss/Pucetas for Lee, Alderson for Holliday, and Noonan/Lewis/Merkin for Uggla, and the Giants are freaking contenders, AMIRITE?

Does anybody know how the Giants are doing financially? Because the thing with this season is that teams seem to just want to dump salaries.
Bruce Bochy would like you to look at the career numbers and stop complaining.

Do not want Derek Lee. He was attractive like 3 or 4 years ago, not anymore.

and for Cain? I’d rather do the patented Cain for Fielder ©

With the season he’s having, there is no way Sabean trades Cain.

I think they were saying the Giants were contenders with the help of Cain, therefore they might want Lee, not that they’d trade Cain for Lee. I’d love Lee in the lineup, but it would have to be the Cubs giving him away.

I thought that as well…but the “give up his no-trade clause” got me thinking. And then the guy to fix the hot water heater showed up…
