Phillips done for the year (probably)

[rocky123]

This is getting ri-freakin-diculous!
Per Rotoworld:

Brandon Phillips suffered a broken right index finger in the same at-bat in which he delivered a go-ahead single Tuesday and is likely to miss the rest of the season.
Phillips apparently injured the finger on a bunt attempt before later driving in the go-ahead run in the 11th inning. A season-ending injury for Phillips isn't the worst thing for the Reds. He was hitting a pedestrian .261/.312/.442 in a pretty disappointing season, and now the team can take a look at Danny Richar and try to figure out if he should fit into their 2009 plans somehow. Richar could be worth adding in NL-only leagues.

I am in second fighting for first and have lost Kinsler, Quentin and Phillips in the last couple of weeks

[The Cow]

Well I am 1st trying to hang on and in another league I have Phillips, but the rosters lock for the playoffs, stupid rule, IMO. So I need a 2B for the 1st league, cats I need help in are HR and RBI any help?

[Crunkleton]

Noooooooo; can anyone else confirm this? I'm having trouble finding another source on this. Not that Rotoworld is usually wrong.

I need a new 2B stat!

I hate the playoff roster lock too, but I was in a league with a guy who churned pitchers throughout the playoffs and won some matchups he shouldn't have. I have the league I'm running set to three roster moves per week, all year. Seemed to do the trick.

[rocky123]

And if there is a God in heaven they will actually put him on the DL, not like the White Sox with Quentin.

[GameBlouses]

this is not good. I'm in the middle of my semi-finals and I loose phillips.

The free agent market for 2B is really thin too. Looks like my best option right now is Asdrubal Cabrera, or Hairston JR. who just came off the D/L

anyone got a good sleeper 2B down the stretch who might be available in deep leagues?

[Crunkleton]

I'm considering Robinson Cano... ugh

[BALCO All-Stars]

the season can end soon enough...in the semis, and over the past month I've lost Carlos Lee, Longoria, Mora, Phillips, and Duchescher...ugh.

[Larsjam]

That really blows. Luckily for me, I have BJ Upton also....unfortunately for me, he will be out until Friday(the earliest) with a hammy.

[floyd1313]

when will they put him on the DL? i'm in a keeper league and may want to keep him...need to get someone in there to replace him!

[Larsjam]

Im in the same situation as you. There is a chance he might not go on the dl becuase of the expanded rosters.
