Beb Broussard

[RedRain]

CLEVELAND FIRST BASEMAN BEN BROUSSARD LEFT THE GAME IN THE TOP OF THE EIGHTH INNING WITH A RIGHT KNEE CONTUSION.

Anyone know anything about this, or how long it will take?

No update on this guy for todays game? I guess it'll be a good idea to start Weeks in my UTIL spot instead of Broussard?

Nothing about Broussard having an injury in the Cleveland papers and he is in the lineup tonight!

no offense to the guy, but he's in a platoon, and besides the huge game against schilling has done NOTHING, unless your in a deep league he is not worth owning

[doggit256]

I agree ... and I don't own him in any league's and he does suck against lefties. But he is the starting 1B and I bet he gets 500 or so at bats this year and 20-25 HR's and 80 plus RBI's. Just my opinion.

If I were really hurting at 1b I would consider rostering both Broussard and Perez. Perez KILLS lefties and Broussard handles right handed pitching very well. Seems like that would be a good combination that could have been had off the FA list easily before that ridiculous day Broussard had
