Lee, who homered and threw out two base stealers with an arm Statcast rates as the second strongest among catchers in the Sox' latest loss Wednesday – although one, Byron Buxton – left the game with a sore knee after – continues to out-perform veteran Martin Maldonado at the plate and at bat. Lee is also showing some of the intangibles Maldonado was signed up for. “He's going to be a leader down the road, he has the makeup for it, the characteristics of being a leader,” manager Pedro Grifol said.
