Description

Jim is joined by Chicago Sports & News Columnist Dave Wischnowsky to discuss the hall of fame candidacy of former MLB first baseman Derrek Lee. First, Dave and Jim cover Lee's legacy on the Chicago Cubs and how he is one of the better Cub players of the 21st Century (8:50 ). Then, they discuss his 2005 MVP-caliber season, Gil Hodges, and where Lee ranks among the best first basemen of the 2000s (13:10 ). Finally, they run through how Lee faired against every NL Cy Young winner from 2004-2010 (31:25 ), before making a final call on whether or not Lee belongs in the HOF (39:38 ).
