Chris Duncan

Any word on why Chris Duncan is not starting today against the Reds? Lohse is pitching, and he is a RHP.

He was in the starting lineup prior to the game. Not sure why he was taken out. But, it was last-minute...

I was sure I saw his name in the lineup too!!

Great I swapped him in for Hamilton thinking Hamilton may not start. Now I get screwed.

Yahoo says he was scratched due to a head injury.

Any further word on this? Did he hit his head on the roof of the dug out or coming out of the car?

I'm soooo close to dropping this guy. I know the head injury isn't his fault but all his inconsistency of playing time is just killing me! Sosa is starting to look like a much better option at this point...

Why would his playing time kill you?

Its simple. RHP? Start him. LHP? Start someone else. I sure dont mind getting his production in addition to whoever you start on the LHP days.

Duncan is a great fantasy player this year so far. Its just a tiny bit of work figuring out when to sit him out.

I play in a weekly roster.

Evidently his head injury wasn't too bad because Yahoo! has him listed as 1-1 with a run scored.
