The-Riot

When did he add power to list of abilities? I thought he was scrappy and hustled now he hits for power and average and has a decent glove?

final Lee vs. Gonzalez post for northernsails

2009 salaries – Lee $13.2mm, Gonzalez $3.1mm – sportscity

2008 salaries – Lee $13.2mm, $875k mySA

Lee with better defense, Gonzalez with MUCH better hitting and MUCH lower salary. If you’d rather have Lee, you’re either dumb or sentimental, because Gonzalez is objectively better.
