September 14, 2009

Carlos Lee went 2-for-4 with an RBI in tonight's 3-1 loss at Cincinnati. He hit a single and a double.

Our View:

The Astros only had seven hits in the game, and Lee was their lone source of scoring. Lee extended his hitting streak to seven games, and raised his team-leading batting average to .307. He also continues to pace the club with 25 homers and 95 RBI.

September 11, 2009

September 2, 2009

Carlos Lee snapped a 4-for-24 funk with a 2-for-4 day on Thursday, but like everybody else on the Astros, he didn't drive in any runs, as Houston lost 2-0 at Wrigley Field.

Our View:

Despite his recent skid, Lee is still poised to post his third .300/25/100 triple crown line in three seasons with Houston.

August 31, 2009

Carlos Lee went 2-for-4 with four RBI in tonight's 5-3 win at Chicago. He hit a single and a two-run homer off Rich Harden.

August 26, 2009

Carlos Lee went 3-for-4 with an RBI on Wednesday, but it wasn't enough, as the Astros lost 3-2 in St. Louis.

Our View:

Lee is cruising toward his third straight .300 average, 25 home run, 100 RBI season with the Astros, and looks primed to keep producing well into his thirties.

August 20, 2009

Carlos Lee was 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI on Thursday, helping the Astros beat Josh Johnson and the Marlins 4-1.

Our View:

With 78 RBI right now, Lee is well on his way to his third-straight 100-RBI season for Houston.

August 18, 2009

Carlos Lee hit a two-run homer, accounting for all of the Astros' offense in their 6-2 loss to the Marlins on Tuesday.

Our View:

The home run was Lee's 20th and the two RBI brought his season total up to 76. He'll have to step it up if he wants to reach the 100 plateau for the third straight season.

August 12, 2009

Carlos Lee went 3-for-6 with three RBI on Wednesday night, as Houston's offense erupted to blowout the Marlins 14-6.

August 10, 2009

Carlos Lee was solid in tonight's 8-6 loss at Florida, as he went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI.

August 8, 2009

Carlos Lee hit his 300th career home run on Saturday night. The blast was a solo shot and came off reliever Claudio Vargas in the seventh inning of the Astros' 12-5 loss to the Brewers.

Our View:

This is a nice milestone for the Astros' RBI machine. Lee is having yet another solid season, and as long as he can avoid injury he's a perennial lock for 100 RBI.

August 1, 2009

Our View:

Lee hit a homer in three of his last six games, and has 18 for the season. He now needs one more home run to reach 300 for his career.

July 31, 2009

Carlos Lee went 2-for-5 with a single and a double in tonight's 4-3 loss at St. Louis.

Our View:

Lee closes out July with a .326 average over 104 at-bats. He collected 18 RBI in the month as well.

July 31, 2009

The Houston Chronicle reports that Carlos Lee could see some additional time at first base this season.

Our View:

With Lance Berkman and Darin Erstad on the DL, the Astros don't have anyone to man first base, so Lee has said he's willing to step in. He played there in the eighth inning on Wednesday for the first time since 1999. He likely won't rack up enough appearances there to qualify for an additional position, but the Astros have to be pleased with his position flexibility.

July 30, 2009

Carlos Lee went 1-for-3 with a solo homer off Kevin Hart in Thursday's 12-3 loss at Chicago.

Our View:

Lee launched his fifth homer in July, and has 17 this season. He continues to lead Houston with 63 RBI as well.

Carlos Lee went 2-for-5 with a single and a solo homer off Carlos Zambrano in tonight's 5-1 loss at Chicago.

Our View:

July 26, 2009

Carlos Lee went 3-for-4 and drove in a run on Sunday, but it wasn't nearly enough, as the Astros got routed by the Mets for the second straight day.

Our View:

Look for Lee's production to continue to rise, however, as it has gone way up since the Astros got back in the thick of things in the National League Central.

July 24, 2009

Carlos Lee went 1-for-4 with a single and an RBI in tonight's 5-4 win over the Mets at Minute Maid Park.

Our View:

Lee extended his hitting streak to nine games, and is batting .325 this month.

July 21, 2009

Carlos Lee hit a grand slam on Tuesday, giving him two home runs and seven RBI in his past two games, as the Astros romped 11-6 over the Cardinals at home.

Our View:

After being sluggish for much of the past month, Lee's bat has woken up in a big way the last two games. He looks way out of shape this season, but should continue to put up big numbers as the season progresses.

July 20, 2009

Carlos Lee carried the Astros offensively in tonight's close 3-2 win over the Cardinals at Minute Maid Park, as he went 1-for-2 with a three-run homer off Kyle Lohse.

Our View:

Lee clubbed his 14th of the season, and is five away from 300 for his career. He extended his hitting streak to six games as well.

July 18, 2009

Carlos Lee left the team's game against the Dodgers on Friday with a left knee contusion, according to the Los Angeles Daily News.

Our View:

He is considered day-to-day, but likely won't play on Saturday. Bench him if you have any reserve outfielders.

July 10, 2009

Carlos Lee went 3-for-5 with a solo homer off Scott Olsen in tonight's 6-5 win over the Nationals at Minute Maid Park. His other two knocks were singles.

Our View:

Lee is riding a six-game hitting streak, and generated his first homer of July. He needs six more homers to reach 300 for his career.

July 4, 2009

Carlos Lee helped contribute to an offensive day to forget for Houston on Saturday, going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts, as the Astros got dominated by San Francisco and Tim Lincecum 9-0.

Our View:

Lee is producing less in 2009 than in seasons past, but is still on pace for around 25 home runs and 100 RBIs. He is a good option in every format.

July 2, 2009

Carlos Lee got a hit for the eighth time in nine games on Wednesday and drove in a run as Houston clipped San Diego 7-1.

Our View:

Lee isn't driving in as many runs as he has in the past, but is still an above average option in the outfield in most every format.

June 29, 2009

Carlos Lee went 2-for-4 with an RBI in tonight's 3-1 win at San Diego. Both of his hits were singles.

Our View:

He notched his 16th RBI of June, and his 45th of the season, tying him with Lance Berkman for the team lead.

June 16, 2009

The Dallas Morning News is reporting that Astros' outfielder Carlos Lee will play in the team's upcoming series against the Rangers. Lee is expected to serve as the team's DH in the series after leaving Saturday's game with cramping in his left leg.

Our View:

Lee was questionable for tonight's game, but the fact that he can be used as the DH probably had a lot to do with the fact that he is playing. Fantasy owners should feel confident in Lee for this series, especially considering the fact that they are playing in a notorious hitter's ballpark in Arlington.

June 15, 2009

Carlos Lee sat out his first game of the season on Sunday with tightness in his left hamstring according to the Houston Chronicle.

Our View:

Lee is questionable for the Astros game Tuesday at the Rangers, but will likely serve as the team's DH if he is ready to go. The burly left fielder is playing well in 2009, clubbing 11 home runs to go with 40 RBIs while batting .313.

June 13, 2009

Carlos Lee exited Saturday's battle at Arizona in the fourth inning with cramps in his left leg, according to the Associated Press.

Our View:

Lee is considered day-to-day. He was replaced in the outfield by Jason Michaels.

June 12, 2009

Carlos Lee went 1-for-3 with a solo homer in Friday's 8-1 loss at Arizona.

Our View:

Lee has three homers so far in June, after only hitting three in the entire month of May. He leads the Astros with 40 RBI as well.

June 5, 2009

Carlos Lee led the Astros in Friday's 9-1 win over Pittsburgh at Minute Maid Park, as he went 2-for-5 with four RBI. He hit a grand slam and a single.

Our View:

Lee has two homers over five games so far in June, after only hitting three in the entire month of May. It is nice to see his power stroke coming back.

June 1, 2009

Carlos Lee went 3-for-3 with two RBI in Monday's 4-1 win over the Rockies at Minute Maid Park. He hit two singles and a two-run homer.

Our View:

He recorded his 16th multi-hit game of the season, and ended a 13-game skid without an RBI.

May 16, 2009

Carlos Lee had three hits, including a home run, in the Astros' 5-4 loss to the Cubs. Lee had an RBI and a run scored in the game.

Our View:

Lee is hitting the ball well after his slow start to the season, and he is starting to live up to his fantasy draft status. He has eight home runs and 29 RBI, and he is hitting .341. Lee is a strong play in all leagues.

May 10, 2009

Carlos Lee continued his hot streak with three more hits in Sunday's 12-5 win over the Padres. He hit a home run, a double, a walk, four RBI, and two runs scored.

Our View:

Lee has a hit in each of his 11 games this month and a total of 20. However, today marked his first home run of the month. He has struck out just 10 times through 117 at bats and he has also drawn 10 walks.

May 9, 2009

Carlos Lee had a big day at the plate Saturday with a 3-for-4 effort that included a double and two RBI. The Astros topped the Padres 5-4.

Our View:

Lee quickly turned his season around and the RBI-machine is now hitting .319 with 22 runs driven in on the year. He now has a nine-game hitting streak and has at least one hit in every game this month. There's no better way to shrug off a slow April.

April 27, 2009

Carlos Lee feels fine following his bout with an Achilles' tendon injury, according to the Houston Chronicle. He went 1-for-3 in Sunday's win over Milwaukee and Lee said, "Everything felt good. No problemo."

Our View:

Lee is hitting well, and crushed two homers over his last three games. He registered a hit in six of his last seven games.

April 24, 2009

Carlos Lee hit his fourth home run of the season on Friday and was responsible for the Astros' only two runs in their loss to the Brewers.

Our View:

Lee is starting to heat up, which is great news for the Astros, who were having a horrible time trying to score runs while he and Berkman were slumping.

April 20, 2009

Carlos Lee went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk against Cincinnati on Monday.

Our View:

Lee's shot, his second of the year, was part of a back-to-back job, following a Lance Berkman solo home run. Both of Houston's sluggers have struggled out of the gates but should be able to pick things in the near future.

April 18, 2009

Carlos Lee was a perfect 3-for-3 at the plate on Saturday as the Astros stomped the Reds 7-0. He doubled, scored twice, drove in a run and drew a walk in the contest.

Our View:

Lee has been off to a terrible start this year, so today's performance was a breath of fresh air for fantasy owners. His average is up to .250, but his RBI total is still eerily low for a man who religiously drive in over 100 a year.

April 15, 2009

Carlos Lee provided most of the offense for the Astros on Wednesday as he only had one hit, but drove in three in Houston's 4-1 win over the Pirates.

Our View:

Lee has struggled this season to say the least. Today's offensive outburst tripled his previous RBI total and finally raised his average over the Mendoza Line.

April 11, 2009

Carlos Lee was the man the Cards couldn't figure out on Friday. He was 3-for-4 with a home run in the Astros' 5-3 loss.

Our View:

Lee struggled this spring, but fear not. He produces every year, so why should 2009 be any different? He's an RBI machine and got his first one tonight. That should give him a little push start.

March 17, 2009

Carlos Lee added to his spring struggles with an 0-for-3 day against the Tigers. Lee struck out, left a man on base and is now hitting an embarrassing .050 in Grapefruit League play.

Our View:

Don't let the bad spring scare you too much. Lee is an RBI machine and seems to be in mid-season form whenever the start of the season rolls around. He is a safe pick as a top fantasy outfielder.

March 10, 2009

Carlos Lee went 0-for-3 in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Braves in the Grapefruit League.

Our View:

The elite fantasy outfielder left two men on base, but did not strike out today.

February 20, 2009

Carlos Lee will represent Panama in the upcoming World Baseball Classic, according to the Houston Chronicle. He said, "I am planning on playing right now. I still want to play a few games and work out. I have not faced live pitching in a game. So I want to play a few games and work out and see."

Our View:

He should see enough at-bats in the tournament to get ready for the start of the season with the Astros.

February 19, 2009

Carlos Lee has reported to camp with the Astros today, according to MLB.com.

Our View:

Lee is worth drafting as a top-10 fantasy outfielder, and he had a strong track record with durability prior to suffering a freak injury in 2008. He racked up 28 homers and 100 RBI last season in only 115 games.

January 20, 2009

Carlos Lee has decided to represent Panama in the upcoming World Baseball Classic, according to the Houston Chronicle.

Our View:

Lee's season-ending fractured left little finger has healed and he has already started swinging a bat in Panama. Lee is the all-time leader in the majors among Panama-born players with 281 career home runs. Barring a setback in the tournament, Lee looks to be ready for opening day.
