Nonsense. Lee was nearly just as bad from May 2008-April 2009. He's had a very unspectaculiar career for a 1B, with a couple stand out years. It's not just that the Cubs don't have any steady guys, it's that they don't have any consistent all star type guys. For all he's done as a Cub, Ramirez has never been the best in the league at his position. Lee has usually not been close. Without any true studs, the Cubs have never had people who can carry them and/or make up for lack of production in other spots. In 2008 they had no weak spots, but in every other year this decade they have, some of them black hole type weak spots. And without studs, those weak spots kill you.
