Tood Helton was recently dropped in my league, this crazy intestinal virus/infection/Chrom's Diesease or whatever it is has him on the DL, does anybody know more about this situation and do they think he is worth a bench spot since i allready have AJ Bunrett filling my one DL spot?

yeah, its not that serious so i bet he'll probably be back as soon as his 2 weeks are up on the DL. he's an OK 1b, if you dont have anyone better or want a good backup id get him

I think he's going to end up on the DL again he just doesn't look like he's completely healthy. His last two starts have not been that impressive. His velocity has not been up it's in the mid 80s and he's normally in the low 90s, plus he's been giving up to many home runs.\n\nJune 24\n5.2 IP, 8 hits, 4 runs, 4 er, 2 hr, 2 bb, 4 k, 5.74 era\n\nJune 19\n7.0 IP, 9 hits, 4 runs, 2 er, 2 hr, 1 bb, 5 k, 5.57 era

I'm going to give you one piece of advice, never, ever sit a star because that is when they decided to breakout.  Keep Jackson and Walker in your lineups.  As far as Colston goes, keep an eye on his status but he was close to going last week and should be fine this week.

he could possibly still start this year if he goes with the 8 week recovery, and he feels well by september. - i would say its a longshot for them to do much if he is not well by the time august gets here, and if he does not start the first 2-4 games, i think their chances are slim to nill

I have been a Braves fan through the worst of years. Years when they really knew how to loose (I am talking about those years prior to '91 when the streak of division titles began). I have seen them come back from worse deficits with worse teams. I am not worried yet. If they are still this far behind in July/August, then I may worry. All you have to do is go to Turner Field and look at those banners and you can see a season where everyone swore they weren't going to win for one reason or another (They lost Wholers so who's going to close? They lost Glavin and Maddox, is their starting pitching going to crumble? Smoltz wants to go back to the starting rotation, who's going to close?). There's always something. But, at the end of the season, there's always a banner.

LETS GO METS!!!  I AM SO READY FOR THIS...IM SO EXCITED.  THE BRAVES' STREAK WILL END AND IF OUR STARTERS STAY HEALTHY WE WILL BE OK.  TODAY THEY ANNOUNCED THAT IT WILL BE BANNISTER IN THE ROTATION AND NOT HEILMAN.  LETS SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

Smoltz is the only one you can condider, or you should ask for better offer.  Even Derrek Lee would be out for 6-8 weeks, but that's a simple injury (not like Prior's and Wood's) and Derek Lee has a reputation to be tough (never been to DL before).  That's someone you can trust.  What if you trade for someone and he goes to DL as well?  Now you can't even Lee back!\n\nAnd the most important thing is, you can pick another 1B from FA and have close number to Lee's.  Like Todd Walker (He will be eligible for 1B soon), or even Xavier Nady, Ben Broussard.

DH, definitely...With all the work of pitching, the pitchers shouldnt have to stress their arms a bit more. For Sox fans, look at Papi. For Yanks fans, look at Bernie. He is the best post-season home run hitter yet.

If it's a Yahoo league, you can leave him on the DL as long as you want. You just can't add or drop anyone else until you take him off the DL, if he is already off the MLB DL. You can take him off the DL at any time, however-- even before his MLB team takes him off. That obviously won't do you any good, but it's your choice.

a lot,  Pujols is the heart of that team, but now that he is back off the dl list, the cardinals may have a chance, question is, did Pujol's come back to early?  I personally think he did, I think he needed another 15 days to fully rehab

I'm going to go against that grain here and say that unless you need steals - don't do it. Let’s start off with Beckett- he is now 3-1 with a 4.50 ERA, 1.25 WHIP after the Tribe kicked the snot out of him the other night. Everybody knows that Beckett, the 2003 World Series MVP, has talent. The question, as always, is his durability. He'll be just 26 in May and already has 100 starts in the bigs. BUT he's never thrown more than 200 innings or made 30 starts in a season. What happens when his first blister pops up -- on the front pages -- in Boston? How will he handle the heat? How will he get his road ERA (4.25 since 2004) down? How will he handle a full season with the DH? Not this well, that's for sure.\n\nSo...now you're talking Jones for Damon. Andruw is the back bone of the Braves lineup and he has had an awesome April (.284 8HR 23RBI's 17 runs). Project that out and he's looking at a 45+HR and a 100+RBI season. Damon on the other had has a slower start (.275 1HR 10RBI 16 runs). He's gonna have to find a way to settle down in NYC (which he may do just fine) but how far back in the standings will you be when he does?\n\nStick with Jones, go out and look at Ryan Freel (Cincinnati) for steals and grab whatever pitcher is hot on your waiver wire.

For sure drop Toomer, he is on IR.  \nI'll give you the top 3 (in order), I think I would pick for my team.\n\n1) Clayton\n2) Henry\n3) Moulds\n\nBradley should be considered if he continues to produce as he has done recently.  I would have him at #4 with a possible of being #2.  Keep an eye on him in week 12 and snatch him up if he does well again.\nGood Luck!

you didn't ask a question.  i looked at your fantasy roster that you posted.  one suggestion i have is this: trade beltre for a stud OF.  move cantu to 3b and play loretta at 2b ... he will have a great year for the bosox.
