Fantasy Analysis
Lee has not been short on offensive numbers in 2008. He is hitting better than .300, has 10 homers and is one RBI away from 30. Lee kind of disappointed in 2007 with just 22 homers, but that was because of a slow start. It hasn't been the case in 2008. Continue to start Lee in all Fantasy formats. (Updated 05/15/2008).
