Manager Joe Maddon said Friday that it's "looking like May at the earliest" for Rocco Baldelli's return from a hamstring injury.
Baldelli went from being questionable for Opening Day to out for the first month so quickly it's surprising he's not a Cubs pitcher. He'd be ready to return as a DH pretty soon if the Devil Rays were willing to let him.

Ugh..

So much for that draft pick in two leagues..

Is Baldelli worth holding onto anymore? I figure that i've held him for this long, I might as well keep him until I get something out of him.

However, I have a few guys on the DL and I will have to drop two guys once they all come back. Right now I have Prior, Crisp, Baldelli, and MacDougal, and i'm not sure what to do.

[Insanity]

Crisp should be off in the next week or so based on reports..

I can't think of dropping Baldelli yet with the draft pick I used on him..

Of course, I have him in two leagues.

I would drop MacDougal...It's not even guaranteed that he will be the closer when he comes back...Crisp should be back soon though right?

You'd think Crisp would be back quickly, but there was this report the other day...

Apr 21

Red Sox manager Terry Francona said that they do not know when he will be ready to come back but they will look closely at him when they return from their current road trip Monday, May 1. When he is ready to begin training, Francona said they are going to bring him along slowly before putting him back into games.
