35-year old righty swinging Carlos Lee is now a full-time 1B instead of an outfielder and that should help the wear and tear on his body. Lee has played in 6 games for the Astros so far this year and he is 8 for 22 (.364 avg, 1.007 OPS) with 1 run scored, 1 homer and 7 RBIs. I have a feeling that opposing pitchers are going to start pitching around Carlos Lee a lot until someone starts protecting him in the lineup. Regardless, it looks like Lee is going to put up some solid numbers offensively for the Astros in 2012.
