D. Lee and C. Carpenter, still going strong

[bellings]

Yes, it's early in the season. I can't wait until we can stop saying that. But every indication so far is that these two are for real, and not just 1-year wonders. So here we have two 30-year-old players who were plainly good, but all of the sudden are putting up elite fantasy numbers.

These 2 are starting to look like bargains. A-Rod-like numbers in the late-first early-second round, and Santana-like numbers in the third-? round. If these 2 really do keep it up, we may have to reevaluate how we respond to older players suddenly getting hot.

I grabbed them both in my league, just because I have the simple philosophy that those most likely to put up great numbers this year are the players that put up great numbers last year. Not exactly an ground-breaking theory, but it does help me not to overthink things.

So much for still going strong. It didn't take D. Lee long to get himself injured.

Way to jinx Lee.

My bad.

At least I waited until after Carp's 2 hitter to post this. Today could have been a total disaster.

if lee stays injured when the cubs play the reds, they will never lose to the cubs...he single-handedly beats us...
