Lee out 6-8 weeks with broken pinkie: Houston slugger Carlos Lee was placed on the 15-day disabled list Saturday night because of a broken left pinkie and is expected to miss 6-to-8 weeks. Lee left the Astros' game at Cincinnati in the third inning Saturday night after getting hit by a pitch. "It's tough to lose him," manager Cecil Cooper said after Houston's 3-1 win. "It didn't look good. He carried us the last month-and-a-half. It's a big hole to fill, but we're capable of filling it. I'm just now starting to suck it up."

Weak.
I will take Jose Guillen from KC for the "I just signed a big contract and don't want to be here anymore, trade me now" factor.
