El Caballo to 1B

According to Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com, the Astros plan to move Carlos Lee to first base.
Lee is one of the worst outfielders in baseball, so it would be a good way to hide his deficiencies on defense. This is also an indication that the Astros aren't sold on Brett Wallace, who batted just .222 with two homers, 13 RBI and an alarming 50/8 K/BB ratio over his first 144 major league at-bats. Crasnick writes that the Astros could target Jeremy Hermida and Ryan Church to take Lee's spot in left field.

Its about time. I still like Wallace and do think he will be a solid MLBer but maybe this is a good way to ease him in backing up Lee at first and even Johnson at 3B. Its hard to believe Lee made $19 million last year and is set to make $37 million over the next two years.

Nah, this means Wallace is screwed. He can't play third.

Dallas McPherson-esque, without a cool name.

He has experience there so he can as a backup or fill in.

[Saber]

He has played there, with what scouts describe as "fall down" range.

Of course he wasn't the greatest at the position if he was forced to change positions but he can still fill in when needed. All I was saying is he isn't going back to AAA.
