If Carlos Lee is dealt, does Corey Hart become an immediate pickup candidate? I'm assuming this would be true in NL-only, but would he have significant fantasy value in deeper mixed leagues? His minor league stats seem to vary quite a bit. But I've heard that he has a combination of decent pop and some good wheels. Anyone know more?

I think that whoever takes the starting job if/when Lee is traded would have some fantasy value...but I am not sure that would be Hart.
From what I've heard he could have 20/20 potential, but I wouldn't be surprised if Gross got a look before Hart... Yost has never played Hart much...

But will he wear his sunglasses during night games? B-)

My opinion is that early in his career, he could be Lyle Overbay with speed. Given a full season of starting (ex -- next season), he could post something like .285/20 HR/40 2B/20 SB. I think he has the potential to hit for more power, but I don't think it'd be right away. He could peak with a 30/30 season though at some point in his career. I'm pretty high on him, and would like to see what he could do playing full time.
