Lee was one of my absolute faves when he was here last. An absolute pro, and without the middle aged health concerns of a fatty like CC. He would be a significant part of a legit contender/playoff rotation for 2014+. A trade-off between Lee vs Choo/Hart/Pax isn't fair. The only one we actually have is Pax, and he might go in the deal. We'd have to sign the others, and they can't be forced to do it. Figgins will be off the books, and Felix is the only current player earning anything to speak of. What the team chooses to spend is arbitrary. Trading for Lee and his salary in no way prevents signing FA hitters. Getting them to want to come here is the issue. Morales likes it here? Sign him up for three, or even just the qualifying offer.
