The Curse of Wrigley Field

Baseball Prospectus’ Marc Normandin wrote up a detailed profile on Cub’s slugger Derek Lee.  Lee was an MVP candidate in 2005 and then his 2006 season was derailed when he broke his wrist.  If the Cubs are going to compete, they need Lee there with his bat doing his thing.

You definitely have to like what you read here.  First optimistic thing is that Will Carroll gave him a green light as far as his wrist injury and said he should be over it.   The other optimistic thing is what they project Lee will do in 2007.  It’s a subscription article so I don’t want to reveal too much but this is both good news and an excellent read.
