Derrek Lee?

For Choi? No more Choi? No more Karros, and Simon, either. No Sexson, which is OK, I guess.

I don't expect any more out of Lee than we got out of McStiff, except maybe he won't pollute the clubhouse with his malingering attitude.

In other words, nothing special.

He bats righty, as does Sosa, Alou, Ramirez, and everyone else on the team.

This is like every other Cub trade of the last five years...nothing special. A nice trade, certainly we got value, and Lee will be an OK hitter.

But it just doesn't knock my socks off. The BIG one is still coming, isn't it?

Tell me THIS isn't the big one? Please???
