No this is not a homosexual reference towards Carlos Lee. However i will admit i LOVE Carlos Lee this year. I was looking through Mikey's top 25 today and when i saw Lee at #24, i decided that i have to enlighten you with my own thoughts.
First of all he is a 5 tool player to begin with. Last year with two teams he hit 37 HR with 102 runs 116 rbi a 300 average and 19 sb. If that is not 5 tool, i dont know what is. The obvious prediction this year, is that he will improve playing in Houston (Which i totally agree with). What you dont realize by just watching ESPN is that Lee's Power/Potential BA/Contact%/Batting Eye/ and speed have been increasing for some time now. He is also 30 this year, his "peak" should be justified by his rising skills. I think you can expect 40HR/100R/110RBI/300avg/15 steals this year. While is skills may warrent a first round pick, you can just as easily grab him in the 2nd. I passed over him in the 2nd for Holliday in the FM league draft. Im starting to question that........ Lee is a great second round pick, and i would almost feel more SAFE taking Carlos Lee over guys like Vlad/Hanley/Bay/Sizemore/Jeter.....All of which Mikey has above Lee on his list.
Im just giving you a different opinion!
I know i keep promising it, but Podcast#1 will be UNLEASHED very soon.
