BARMES to miss 3 months

[fansmash]

From Rotoworld:

Clint Barmes is expected to miss at least three months with a broken clavicle, ESPN reports.
Barmes was hurt carrying groceries last night.

Barmes fell down the stairs while carrying groceries. Will undergo surgery to repair broken clavicle. What a freak accident.

Well... he was a great WW pickup... while it lasted.

Wow, I traded him for Ichiro just in time. Thanks to the cafe for recommending a "sell high" two weeks ago.

I was *just* getting ready to deal him earlier today to but decided to wait until after their homestand.

By the way...if you're looking for a replacement at SS for Barmes (this doesn't work for those of you who played him at 2B) take a look at A. Perez. He's a 3B/SS for the LAD who's started off pretty hot after his call-up. Looks like a guy who might be able to put up 15/15 type numbers with a decent average and the Dodgers have started hitting him out of the #2 slot in the order meaning he may play several games sandwiched between Izturis and Drew/Kent. Not a bad pickup to take over for Barmes if he can keep hitting the ball well, swiping a few bags and hitting a few homers.
