I thought he was our defensive savior and would move Castro to 2B. Let me guess Scarey, his errors are due to a bumpy infield. And fuck yeah to Chrissy Archer.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I've heard people draw comparisons to Omar Vizquel when talking about Lee. Check out this scouting report from an MLB analyst.

<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->Lee is the type of defender that already looks like a Gold Glove at shortstop. And it would be only this type of player that could displace a player like Castro at shortstop. He's that special on the defensive side of things. He has a plus arm, which allows him to complete some spectacular plays. What's most impressive is how easy he makes some of these difficult plays look.
He circles the ball in the hole to his right very well, and makes throws consistently off his back foot as if they were routine. His hands are outstanding, and the range to both sides would be among the best in the majors right now. It's high praise and risky to make such a comparison, but Lee plays the position like a stronger armed Omar Vizquel.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I know Sandberg has made the same comparison (the Hall of Famer, not the poster).
