Iwamura hitting the DL?

[dmendro]

Could this mean a possible Evan Longoria sighting if Cantu struggles?

No, Brendan Harris will get a ton more AB's because of this I would think.

No way! upton hitting 9th is PERFECT

how much better can it get hitting in front of baldeli,_____, crawford, wiggy, delmon

theres no pressure on him in the 9th spot. hes playing fantastic, moving him would jus chance messing up his groove

Only fitting that I dropped Cantu yeseterday.

Likewise....Damn

..but I picked up Brendan Harris for Cantu, so who knows how that'll turn out.

Looks like 15 day DL is being generous:

"The Rays expect Akinori Iwamura to miss 4-6 weeks with the strained right oblique he suffered in Monday's game. Ty Wigginton is likely to play third most of the time, so it looks like Carlos Pena will benefit a lot more than Ben Zobrist from Iwamura's injury. If Brendan Harris isn't going to see much time at third, he'll play over Zobrist at short fairly often."


Time to kick him to the curb?

[bubgump]

Keep him if you have a DL spot. I don't, so I might be dropping him. Crede is my other 3B. Not a good option.

ok so I was watching the game last night(stopped shortly after Fossum came out) and he looked absolutely fine. did the injury occur later? It just seems weird to come outta the blue like that...

Yeah, apparently it happened during the game and he just played through it!
