Lee will be in the lineup tonight. Heard it on a local radio station hee in Chicago.

Awesome! Thanks!

he's playing.

1 for 4 yesterday with a run and 2 RBI, and 3 for 6 today with an RBI. Seems like he is ready to contribute again.

and today he's out of the lineup (8/30), which basically supports my earlier argument about the dangers of playing Lee in weekly transaction leagues.

Sure he's solid if he can stay healthy, but otherwise you have to expect him to be a guy who sits out every third game (not just necessarily on day games) from now til the end of the season.

Based on how bad the Cubs offense is this year, are you willing to take a chance with 4 games a week out of Lee as opposed to 6 or 7 out of most other everyday first basemen? I'm certainly not.
