Ryan Freel- Turf toe????

[titanut]

If he truly has turf toe, he'll probably be out at least a month. Tough
injury for a player whose only fantasy plus is SBs.As a Titans fan,
I know too much about turf toe(Chris Brown, Eddie and McNair)

with this injury is he worth keeping ina 14 team league? or any league for that matter. if this limits his sb ability he loses pretty much all worth, so...

I heard Freel comment about this injury -- apparently his second toe is far longer than his big toe, so it is prone to take the brunt of any impact, be it running or a collision. This has always been aa problem for him. He said that it will at some point likely require surgery of some type to correct. Probably an off-season thing. They are calling this Turf Toe as a broad description, but it does not sound like the clinical definition of the ailment.

Regardless. 90% of Freel's fantasy value is wrapped up in steals. I'm holding onto to him to see if he runs the week after his DL stint If he fails to, I'll cut him.
