Vladimir Guerrero is out indefinitely with a strained pectoral muscle.

The injury hindered his throwing ability, which limited him to DH batter to start the season. An MRI revealed a strain right pectoral muscle. Guerrero will return to Los Angeles to meet with doctors to determine the next course of action.

Is this one a surprise though? It has been painful to watch this guy play since July 08 to present. He's a gamer though so he much be in some serious pain.

[/QUOTE]I also agree that Vlad was a dangerious pick,especially in the 4th round.He doesnt run and he aged two year's in the last 12months.Was shocked that some of the owners who i consider very good kept getting this guy and i kept thinking am i missing something.

Nothing is surprising in fantasy baseball, but it's not what I expected. I always thought you're supposed to buy low and sell high. Last years #'s appeared to be a rock bottom, worst case scenario, with the realistic upside of Vlad turning in a first round pick value, since he was finally(supposedly) healthy for the first time in years since he finally had knee surgery. The guy had a career worst .303 BA last year. Vlad has never been this cheap in drafts.

Before draft prep I was down on Vlad, the more I researched him, the more of a value he appeared to be.

That's what you get sometimes for studying and not just winging it.
