Derrek Lee

Chicago’s first baseman has spent much of his career under the radar, despite winning a World Series with the Marlins in 2004. Lee didn’t make national headlines until his Triple Crown chase in 2005. He won the batting title, finished second in the home run chase and trailed down to seventh in RBIs, but Lee’s stellar 2005 season landed him his first All-Star selection and Silver Slugger award. While he brings thunder to the plate, the North Side’s biggest star also rocks in the field, where his first baseman’s mitt turned gold for the second time in 2005.
