Connolly: Lee to Pitt For 1B Aaron Baker

[Remember The Alomar]

Thought this deserved it's own thread.

Via Connolly:

The player in the Lee deal is a A-level hitter. But Is need to be dotted. Ts crossed. May not be announced until tomoro

Hmmm.... there are no i's in "Derrek Lee", so that means they must be in the name of the player we are getting.

Anyone know an A level hitter in the Pirates system with i's in his name?

Sweeeeeet

Hoping for Robbie Grossman.

Hoping for Robbie Grossman.

He was the name that jumped out to me as well.

Hoping for Robbie Grossman.

I was just about to say that.

Ramon Cabrera looks solid

[BaltimoreTerp]

When this was first brought up and I looked at the guys we might be able to get for Lee, Grossman was one of them. He would be a nice haul, especially if we don't have to pick up much money off Lee's deal.

Outfielder, good speed, very patient, doubles power. Anyone have a scouting report?

[Remember The Alomar]

May wanna stay up late, ya'll

Strong possibility Lee deal is announced tonight, but not definite. Davis will be the #Orioles primary first baseman moving forward.

I think we're all hoping it's Grossman, although I'd be pleasantly surprised. Perhaps it's Carlos Paulino, a 21-year old catcher?

[MarylandAaron]

It better be someone good. I'd hate to see us just let him go for nothing.

Let him go? The guy's taken 6ish million dollars of Baltimore's money and produced next to nothing.

I'll pack his things and/or drive him to the airport if asked.
