Schmidt Just Injured

[The Loveable Losers]

Tweaked the right hammy it looks like. No word yet but I saw it in the game...he threw the ball, grimaced and grabbed either the right hammy or groin. They took him out immediately after the pitch.

great, just great,,,2 points outa first and lose aramis and griffey and now schmidt..all this after losing barmes and benetiz for 4 months...i am cursed

I'm actually kinda happy about this from a fantasy perspective (obviously it's crappy any time anyone gets hurt from a rl perspective)...have RJ, Peavy, Prior, King Felix, Lowry and Schmidt and only about 100ip left before I hit the limit for the season. If he's hurt I can finally stop pitching him regardless of matchup.

Should I start Schmidt this week?

or play Bedard @TEX or drop Bedard for:

Matt Cain vs SD
Oliver Perez @STL
B. Arroyo @TOR vs Oak
J. Westbrook vs Oak
T. Wakefield @NYY vs Oak
J. Weaver vs COL @SF

5x5 roto

You sure Wakefield is @NYY during the same week as Oak? If so that's a great 2 start. Wakefield has the Yank's number AND he's been effictive this year. Not to mention they're in the middle of one heck of a playoff fight. Unfortunately it's probably too late anyways...I think he's got a matchup vs. RJ today (Sunday).

[dundeeslugger]

our week starts on Sunday. So yes he would have 2 starts this week.

I don't know if I would start him against Randy, should I?

christ I didn't realize that there was a game at 12:05 ET

used to having my roster in at 12:35ET

[The Loveable Losers]

Again, think I might have missed your deadline but yes I would start him against any Yankees pitcher. Jeter is the only guy that hits him worth a damn on the Yankees and Sheffield is on the shelf.
