Lee faces uncertain future
After a season filled with persistent trade rumors, even after being dealt once, veteran outfielder/first baseman Carlos Lee will likely be seeking a new home as a free agent during the offseason. Lee finished the year with Miami after beginning the season in Houston, but hardly found a rhythm with the Marlins and produced a .243 batting average as his power numbers continued to decline. He managed a career-low nine homers, including just four shots in 81 games with Miami, while driving in 77 runs -- also a career low. Lee played exclusively as a first baseman last season.
