I have a question that I want your opinion on. What if Lee becomes a Free Agent and decides not to be a number 3?


And what if a team offers a 2nd rounder and Caldwell ships him off to another team?


With that said, I want him to stay as much as you. But we can't afford 3 high priced WRS and then Greene too. I mean we could but Lee has the talent to be a number 1.

 

That's interesting. It depends on how Dave sees him at that FA point. If he outplays Hurns and rivals ARob, I could see Dave giving him the money to make him the #1b/2. Especially since at that time Hurns will still be under contract another 2/3 years and the cap keeps rising. If Lee really wants out at that time, there isn't much we can do at that point except franchise him, and I doubt we'd do that.

 

I don't know if Dave would take a second for him. If he's healthy and produces to the level mentioned above, I'd say he wouldn't, unless there's genuine reason to believe Lee wants to walk via FA agency. If he still can't shake the injury bug, then yeah he probably would.
