Fantasy Analysis

Lee's contract expires after next season, though general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said the team is open to signing the star left-hander to a long-term deal. Lee, 31, was acquired from the Cleveland Indians on July 29 for four minor leaguers, and quickly became Philadelphia's ace. He posted a 3.39 ERA in 12 starts for the Phillies, then went 4-0 with a 1.56 mark in five postseason outings, including 2-0 in the World Series. He isn't a strikeout artist, but he eats innings and has plenty of potential for wins pitching for a perennial contender. Think of him as a No. 2 Fantasy SP entering 2010, though the postseason hype might cause someone to reach for him even earlier than that.
