I just can believe that Derrick Lee won't fade at some point. He is hitting 100 points higher than he ever has, he is hiting 1.8x the doubles and HRs than he ever has had. I know hitters improve to the age of 30 so at 29 he should be getting better, but this is just ridiculous....

Can Derrick Lee keep this up?
A side story few dare to write...
The steroid hitters are faultering.
The natural hitters are reaping the rewards vs. NON-STEROID PITCHERS!!!
Think about that.

Let's see, on his way to his 3000th hit, Raffy has 17HRs and a .285 BA while Sosa has 10HRs with a .233 BA.
Maybe now I see why Raffy all but screamed at the members in congress that he didn't do steroids and Sammy had his lawyer read a prepared statement.

All Raffy had to tell Congress was that steroids don't work well with Viagra.
On my tombstone-
Wait! I never had the perfect draft!

So the Derrick Lee watch continues... As the number show, he has cooled off with a drop of .18 on BA and his overall HR, Run and RBI pace is down. But really he hasn't slowed much! Amazing...
