CLiff Lee

Is it time to hop off the band wagon while we can? What is everyone's feelig about the guy? I know a lot of people are skeptical (I guess I am), but should I try to be a little more patient with him? Or should I get rid of him while the memory of last year is still fresh in everyone's mind?

Cliff Lee had a fluky season last year. He's probably good for 13-15 wins and around a 4 ERA, but it would be nice if you could trade him while his value is still high.

I didn't expect him to be an ace, so I'm not worried yet. It'd be nice if he wasn't stinking it up, but last year was an anomaly. He won't come close and shouldn't be drafted as such. I think if you get 12 wins, 3.85 era and a 1.275 whip, with possibly 160 ks, you did ok for yourself. If you drafted him as a Cy Young award winner, you're going to be sorely disappointed.

So, in summary, don't panic just yet and you aren't going to be able to sell him right now. In no league that I drated in was he selected as a top guy so no one was expecting much anyway.
