Yup lots of injuries, 2 of which likely directly effected the World Series.
Chipper Jones
Chipper was placed on the DL for his strained Hamstring, but in actuality it was probably a combination of the hamstring and all of the other leg ailments he has had this season. He’s likely going to be on the DL for at least a few weeks, but that’s what you expected when you drafted him.
Tim Hudson

Jorge Posada has decided to postpone the surgery that would fix his injured shoulder until the offseason, instead he is going to try to rehab so that he can still help the Yankees in ‘08 as a DH. I can’t say that I agree with this decision for a couple of reasons. One, the Yankees already have three or four guys who are…

Kerry Wood
Wood developed a blister on his right index finger prior to the All-Star break that didn’t heal up so some reports say he’s heading for the DL and others say he can avoid it. Blisters are more than a nuisance to a pitcher if he tries to pitch through it because it almost always ends up in some mechanical changes as the athlete is subconsciously avoiding the…

It was an offensive explosion tonight in Kansas City, and no it wasn’t the Royals scoring all the runs. The Tigers beat the Royals pitching around like a redheaded step-child on Monday to the tune of 19 runs. Leading the way was Miguel Cabrera who drove in six of those runs, giving him 67 on the year. Miggy is on…

Jorge Posada has just made many a grown man cry as he said he’s likely to return to the DL according to Rotoworld and The New York Post with his recurring shoulder problem. This isn’t surprising to me if he was catching every day but it is somewhat surprising because of the fact that he has been DHing so much. He’s been noted to have a labrum…

Ryan and I often joke that the one guy you never want to hear that your fantasy player is going to see is Dr. James Andrews. Andrews is legendary for performing major surgeries on some of sports biggest stars. Unfortunately for owners of John Smoltz, that’s exactly who will be working at his ailing right shoulder. 
Smoltz is scheduled…

A quick congratulations to the Red Sox Manny Ramirez who connected on the 500th home run of his career
tonight against the Orioles. For many years Manny was one of the most feared run producers in baseball. As far as fantasy baseball is concerned, Manny’s best days are behind him, but he is…

The Reds had two rookie starters going into this season, and it looks like the one with less hype will make the bigger fantasy impact this year. While Johnny Cueto has begun to struggle some now, Edinson Volquez is not. He will take the loss tonight, but it wasn’t all his fault. He was the victim of a horrible drop in the outfield by Corey Patterson (I’m talking right…

There were only a handlful of games last night, and one was rained out so not a ton to report on.
The shoulder injury to Yankees catcher Jorge Posada now looks like it is worse than was originally feared. After trying to tough it out for a week Posada finally hit the DL on Monday. Worse news than that is that is he scheduled to meet with Dr James…
