Although Yahoo hasn't put him on their list of DL people yet...
Maine has a good swing for a pitcher but on anything that moves, he has no chance. And if it's a fastball, it has to be up in the zone. Basically, the pitcher has to hit his bat. - Mike Pelfrey
Benson was border line ownable in a 12 team league in the first place. Stash him on the DL, and see how well he comes off. If he struggles, cut him loose, I say.

this injury could actually be good if you use it correctly. someone in your league may dump him, and he'd be a fantastic ww pickup, IMO. he'll very solid #3 guy in a 12-team league, IMO.
