The fantasy focus of this deal is of course that Lee is going to a better team with infinitely better run support.  Even with very little help from his offense, Lee has been as dominant as expected, going 8-3 with a 2.34 earned run average and now he has the added bonus of not having to pitch a shutout every time he takes to the mound.  There might be a slight upswing in Lee’s ERA now that his home games will take place in what is considered a hitter’s park but Lee did pretty well in Philadelphia which is basically a bandbox.

As far as how much this effects Lee’s value considering he was almost a Yankee?  Both the Yankees and Rangers are in first place and both have a pretty good offense.  From a purely fantasy numbers wise approach, this move is pretty much identical to being traded to the Yanks.

The move isn’t official as of yet, but when the pitcher who is being traded, says his general manager told him he was traded, that’s about as close to official as you can get.

Also on the agenda will be the running back situation in week four. A lot of solid running backs will not see action this week, and we will keep you updated on the current state at running back, including guys who are duds, studs turned into duds, and the hot names on the waiver wire.
