Steve9347 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 ESPN Link Some of the quotes in this article are hilarious when they committed to $100 million for Carlos freaking Lee. "This is a historic commitment to winning," Astros general manager Tim Purpura said. "I won't disappoint you," the 30-year-old Lee said. "Let's go for the championship." "Carlos will fit very nicely in the middle of that lineup -- oh, my goodness, that's going to be nice. I'm sure that Berkman is over there enjoying his turkey dinner a lot better right now, knowing there's just no way now they're going to get around him. By adding these two guys we'll be definitely better." They also signed Woody freaking Williams that day and talked him up. What a joke of a franchise.

bigruss Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 He has hit pretty well there...but his contract is an albatross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderBolt Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Some GM's rebuild, Ed Wade signs big names, puts them around small names, and watches in disbelief as things backfire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I'm a believer that Carlos Lee will always be a loser. He's a good hitter, but I hate the way he plays the game. When we got rid of him was one of the happiest days I've had a Sox fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
