"Aug 15: The Seattle Mariners placed Sexson on the bereavement list so he could return home and be with his wife while she gave birth to twins. The team expects him to be back on Monday.
Advice: Sexson is batting .229 with 25 home runs and 80 RBIs in 116 games this season."
I do too. Its funny how sometimes the big picture gets lost with fantasy sports.
Gonna keep him and start Peralta at ULT.
With twins (barring other complications of course) one month shouldn't be all that bad. Very few twin pregnancies go to 40 weeks so this isn't necessarily as bad as it sounds at first. Now there could be reasons behind the emergency c-section that make this worse than I'm thinking it is initially but assuming it was something that just made it necessary to deliver the babies but wasn't causing any physical harm at the time they should have two happy and healthy babies to bring home with them some time soon.
It seems a lot of new fathers in MLB come back and hit a home run in their first game back...I wonder if this means a two home run day for the double-daddy Richie.
Reported on XM Radio MLB 175 yesterday afternoon the wife and kids (a boy and a girl) are doing great. Other people have already covered when he'll be back.
