Josh Harrison: Torn Thumb Ligaments (7/6/15)

[revo]

out six weeks (this seems to be a theme among the recently injured).

[joncarlos]

Full time ABs for Jung-Ho Kang!

[Erik]

In my league, he's owned by the same guy who lost Phillips and Y. Molina to thumb ligaments last year. Of course.

A couple team name suggestions:
- Team Shitty Hitchhiker
- Snaggletoothed Linus

[Judge Jude]

frowny face for having to look for a 3B only in deep NL.
highest AVG among the 10 eligibles is Cliff Pennington's .234


ok, maybe I should look to the trade market....

fyi, the list:
Adrianza, JArias, JeBaker, TCruz, Descalso, HGomez, JHerrera, Kozma, Pennington, MRojas

[overkill94]

Yeah, I'm looking at a lot of the same guys although mine has to be an OF.

Any of these guys move the needle?
Bourjos
Ishikawa
C. Gillespie
Schumaker
Terdoslavich
J. Baker

Edit: BTW, from your list I guess I like either Pennington or Baker

[mjl]

My guess is that all of those guys will be terrible, but Gillespie is probably in line for the most playing time - the Marlins official depth chart on mlb.com has him as the RF starter for now.

[joncarlos]

Yeah, the Marlins outfield is currently Ichiro, Yelich, Morse (with Bour at first), and Gillespe. Championship!

Other than him, probably try to catch lightning in a bottle with Bourjos? Even though Holliday will be back soon and Grichuk will be sucking up a lot of the extra outfielder ABs?

[Judge Jude]

Ishikawa might have a pulse. I'd take him if I could

If those are your only options, in a deep league you may want to roll the dice on 27 year old StL outfielder Tommy Pham who's filling in for injured outfielders Holliday and Jon Jay. He also has a history of being injured but he's healthy now and hit .338/.402/.625 with five homers and six steals in 24 games for Triple-A Memphis this year. Jon Jay sucks and Pham is also supposed to be a pretty good defensive center fielder. So who knows. The Cardinals have a way of just churning these guys out of their minor league system. Maybe you get lucky here.

[overkill94]

Bourjos, Pham, Terdoslavich, and Gillespie were all claimed by teams lower in the standings.

I've always been intrigued by Ishikawa but he's never done much of anything. Baker's not hitting lefties as much as he normally does (and that's pretty much the only time he starts) so maybe he's due?

[Hornsby]

None of the remaining guys are worth a damn...Save your money, and hopefully, a WW position for next week.

[overkill94]

We don't do FAAB and the waiver priority is determined by standings so all it'll cost me is $1 in real money for the transaction fee. I guess I could just wait until Spangenberg comes off the DL and put him in there - the chances of Baker or Ishikawa adding anything to my team are pretty slim.

[Judge Jude]

I'm waiting for Godot. I think he's a 3B in the Padres farm system

Sounds like your best bet to me, at least he can add a little speed to the equation...
