Torn ACL, done for the year. The injuries just keep on coming. Unreal so far this year.

At least he's easier to replace than a SS.

If only he had stretched properly before trying to hurdle Reed Johnson at first base. I would like to hire the Stretching-Hippo to counsel all of my fantasy players!

The title of this thread is something like I would have posted!!!! Good job jeff!

Lots of injuries. Makes having a quality and useable bench a priority.

This is brutal...the guy starts the year on the DL, comes back and is great in 3 starts and now done for the year. Is Dave Bush available?....ugh.

But it's even more brutal for the Brewers and Brewers fans. They can't afford to lose this guy. And you are right, he has pitched so well since coming back. Now he has two knee injuries. Ouch.

It's impossible being a Brewers' fan!!

i will draft him every year now. he pitched an inning with a torn acl. prior would miss 5 years with this.

Adding to the misery, Willingham was just placed on the DL - and a day too late for NFBC owners to swap him out of their lineup even though he hasnt played in days.

There are a lot of guys this week who will go on the DL after our Friday deadline. Tulowitzki, Gallardo, Willingham. Bummer indeed.

Week 4 will not go down as memorable for me. In the SChilds lge I have a temporary hold on 1st place, but just lost 4 players in 4 days in Posada, Tulo, Willingham and Gallardo.

At this rate I can confidently project that my entire team will consist of platoon players and middle relivers for PIT and KC by the end of May.

Gallarado was the one pitcher i really wanted at the main draft and the super.Lucky for myself he went in the late in the 7th round in the main, i took James Shields at 7th round pick 11 and was hoping Galarado would be their for me at 8th round pick 5.Then in the Super HE went in the 6th round so i had no shot.

I did get him in the 1000 dollar satelitte league so i didnt totally escape this bad news.Better get my free agent money out this week to replace him.

I was also targeting Gallardo in the main event but missed him by 1 pick and took Edwin Encarnacion instead. Such a tough break for Gallardo owners! It will be interesting to see Gallardo's ADP for next year.

Meanwhile, I drafted Kazmir as my #2 behind Felix Hernandez...it's nice to have him back. I also have him on 1 of my satellites. He comes back at the right time because now I have W. Rodriguez, Westbrook, and P Hughes all on the DL.
