Carlos Lee has one game under his belt after a hamstring injury landed him on the disabled list.
Analysis: Carlos Lee drove in two runs in his first game back from the disabled list. He is coming off of two relatively down years for him but he is still productive. Lee’s average is up over .300 and he has 25 RBI in fifty games played this year. His slugging percentage is down but he will still get his fair share of home runs. You have to love that he’s only striking out at a 5.2% clip this year, absolutely impressive.
Keep in mind that Lee has outfield and first base position eligibility. He is only available in twenty percent of leagues so now is the time to pick up the aging slugger. He still has a bit left in the tank and who couldn’t use a little batting average and power depth on their squad? He will continue to get plenty of RBI opportunities hitting cleanup in the Houston batting order and hopefully JD Martinez can offer some protection for him. Lee won’t last long on the waiver wire so snatch him up now before it is too late.
