Lee’s 2007 season unraveled before it started. He pulled an abdominal mus- cle during spring training, went on the disabled list and didn’t make his season debut until May. He threw a three-hitter in his second start, but Lee’s season was soon be spiraling downward. After four-straight losses dropped him to 3-8 with a 7.40 ERA, Lee was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo, a team he hadn’t played for since 2003 and a minor-league stop he never thought he’d have to make into a temporary home again. Lee never questioned the Indians’ decision. He knew it was the right one. “It was kind of a shock when it all happened,” he said. “But I didn’t have anyone to blame but myself.
