Cliff Lee now has 4 starts that have produced the following results: 4 wins 0.28 ERA 30 Ks Before we annoint him as a breakout candidate, let's take a look at some of his career stats to see if he is a prefect 'sell high' player or a player that you need to get at all costs. 2007- 5-8, 6.29 ERA 2006- 14-11, 4.40 2005- 18-5, 3.79 This post is to lay out information, so you can make your own determination. First, it must be noted that Lee is 30 years old. This helps to to know that he is not a young pitcher in the learning curve of a career. Lee's four wins have come against the Athletics (twice), the Twins, and the Royals. There is not a better schedule that he could have hoped for, and he has taken full advantage of this opportunity. Also, he has pitched all of his games in pitcher-friendly parks. To Lee's credit, he has dominated a team twice (the A's), which points to the fact that adjustments were likely made, but to no avail to the hitters.

Quick thoughts regarding 10 LB I’d like to see on my roster this season:   DeMeco Ryans (Hou) – He’s currently ahead of 49ers LB Patrick Willis as my top choice at the position.   Justin Durant (Jac) – The undersized Durant might be the best fantasy option on the Jaguar’s by season’s end.     Paul Posluszny (Buf) – The future star could last until the middle rounds after missing 13 games last season with a broken arm.     Bart Scott (Bal) – Make him a late-round selection as Scott has a proven track record and great potential despite plummeting stats in ’07.    Chad Greenway (Min) – Greenway showed flashes last season on the weak side and should be fully recovered from a 2006 knee injury.   Steve Filer (ND) – Whoops, wrong column.   Karlos Dansby (Ari) – The Condor is one of the most versatile LB in the game will get you points playing inside, over the TE, or in space. Dansby’s more valuable in comprehensive scoring systems than in tackle-based leagues.   Jon Beason (Car) – The rookie posted 7 or more solo stops in 11 games last season.     Donnie Edwards (KC) – Edwards is a perfect late-round pick after finally showng signs of slippage last season at age 35. He should ...
