The Astros will try to deal Lee this summer, but if they are unable, don't be surprised if they restructure his remaining payments in exchange for a one-year extension. The team will be moving to the AL next year and will need a DH, at least until some of their minor-league talent is ready.","date":"Thu May 17"},"fullName":"Carlos Lee","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Although he's 35 years old and on the downslope of his career, Lee shouldn't be cast aside in fantasy leagues. He brings surprising advantages for a probable mid-to-late-round pick: One, he's likely to be overlooked as a member of the bottom-feeding Astros, but as their probable No. 3 or 4 hitter, he'll be in a prime RBI position (assuming the team can generate him chances). Two, he's a National League first baseman -- also outfield-eligible -- and that's an unexpectedly shallow talent pool. Three, he has transformed himself from a 6.0 percent walks, 15 percent K's hitter from earlier in his career into a 9.0-and-9.2 -- those his 2011 numbers -- performer, his improved contact rate responsible for making him especially productive in points-based leagues. Lee shouldn't be mistaken for his 2007 self or an early rounder, not at this advanced stage of his career. He shouldn't be written off as done, either.","seasonId":2012,"date":"Fri Feb 10"},"playerRater30DAY":2.4,"playerRater15DAY":4.5,"positionRank":11}
