Fantasy Analysis
The Phillies have not yet announced who would start a deciding Game 5, should it be necessary, but if Lee pitches on Wednesday, that would likely rule him out. Lee is arguably coming off his best season, as he maintained his pinpoint control while striking out more than a batter per inning. He will be one of the top starting pitchers in next year's drafts, and he could be off the board within the first two or three rounds in many leagues. (Updated 10/05/2011).

After weeks of conversations with the Rangers and Yankees, Cliff Lee shocked the world last offseason by taking less money to return to the Phillies -- the team he never wanted to leave in the first place -- and the move couldn't have been any better for his Fantasy value. He dominated the National League the same way he did in his first go-around, only this time he had a full season to do it. The result was a career high in innings (232 2/3), a career low in ERA (2.40) and a career first of more than a strikeout per inning. He wasn't necessarily dominant from start to finish -- his strike-throwing approach once again leading to some ups and downs -- but when he was on, he was untouchable. He allowed one earned run over a five-start stretch in June, throwing back-to-back-to-back shutouts in the process, and two earned runs over a six-start stretch in August and September, adding two more shutouts to the tally. At age 33, Lee is a little old to be hitting his stride, but since his breakout 2008, he has only gotten better and better. With a miniscule walk rate and workhorse mentality, he has emerged as roughly the left-handed equivalent of Roy Halladay. Expect him to go off the board among the top five starting pitchers in Fantasy. (Updated 1/5/12)
