I'm thinking of changing Relegation Watch to reflect this. If Yahoo would ever update its database...

You're going down this week brother! *said in the most awesome Hulk Hogan voice of all time*

21.5 game lead... that's just not right.

Lol, boy you're having a hard time selling him, huh?

Meh, injured catcher coming off an obvious career year. In a league like this it's not surprising that no one wants to pay the sticker price.

Didn't Grandal just go down with an oblique injury? Maybe you wanna hold off on trading Avila.

Injuries are devastating in this league. I think next year we ought to add a 4th DL slot.

Yeah injuries in this league are brutal. Since there is nothing in the free agents and the bench depth is shallow with this many teams, you just have to cross your fingers and hope to avoid them. It's hard to have a good contingency plan.

Now I see why guys like Nelson Cruz slipped so far. You definitely have to slot guys that have injury histories down in your ranks.

Lets see :

Logon Morrison
Mitch Mooreland
Chris Young
Tori Hunter

John Danks
Alexi Ogando
Doug Fister
Kerry Wood
Frank Fransico
Huston Street
Matt Caps

I win

Possibly both. It's so deep already, one more spot wouldn't hurt. Really it's just an extra 5 minutes in the draft, and after that it's more convenient for everybody.
