Won't be breaking it either! Definitely put the brakes on that!!!

Well there goes my season. See you all in April.

I can't say that I am happy about this but my prospects of winning one of my leagues just got a little brighter.

I wish Utley a speedy recovery. I don't have him on any teams but he sure is fun to watch.

I agree. Very hard not to like the guy.

He sounds optimistic, saying he doesn't think he'll be out a month. I wonder how this will change the Phils line up?

Rowand most likely moves up to the 3 hole with Burrell moving up to 5th, Dobbs 6th when he's in there.

I am definitely sorry to hear this news, and I don't have Utley on any fantasy team. As a Mets fan, I was looking forward to a fun stretch run with Atlanta and Philly. While this doesn't knock the Phils out, it will certainly make their task a bit more difficult. I hate when good players get hurt in critical times to their teams. A few that come to mind are Jack Clark in 1985, then Vince Coleman that same year in the World Series ... Pedro getting hurt right before the playoffs last year still stings.

Anyway, if he is back in 4 weeks, we are looking at late August ... still plenty of baseball to be played.

I preface this by saying that I own Utley and won't be dropping or trading him at all while he's on this DL stint. BUT, I am concerned about how this will sap his power when he comes back this season, as well as for next season.
