It sounds potentially serious. I hope it isn't as a Mauer owner.

"Twins placed C Joe Mauer on the 15-day disabled list with bilateral leg soreness. Mauer has been out for the past two games, but the news still comes as a major surprise. Bilateral leg weakness is a condition often related to nerve or spinal cord issues and can be quite serious at its worst. The light-hitting Drew Butera is likely to draw most of the starts behind the plate in his absence."

Yikes. (Potential) spinal cord issues are nothing to mess around with, obviously. Fantasy or not, hope the guy's okay.

I hope it isn't as a Longoria-Hamilton-Mauer owner.

I own Hamilton in one expert league
I own Mauer in Tout

This season already sucks!

Well that was fun. Glad I waited all winter for that......when do the Vikings start? Oh yeah....

That's what he gets for making fun of Polamalu.

I was thinking that he caught the injury virus from being in the same room as Polamalu.

Two guys with transcendent talent who can't stay on the field.

How does Josh Hamilton's hair look?

I have Longoria and Mauer is the same league (also drafted Kendrys Morales). I'll still win the league, you can mark it down.

I have Mauer, Hart, Sizemore, Lidge, and Greinke out right now. I'm only really worried about Mauer, as I hope to have the others back soon, except for Lidge who probably would have sucked anyway. Mauer is one of my favorite players and I've had him since he was drafted. I really hope he can come back strong at some point this year.

Might this lead to some more ABs for Thome?

[Bob Kohm]

My list... Joe Mauer, Rajai Davis, Rafael Furcal, Yoshi Nishioka, Corey Hart, Homer Bailey, Johnny Cueto, Zach Greinke, Brandon Morrow. Shoot me now.

Do we have to pick a number, or is this a first-come, first-served opportunity? :biggrin:

I would think so. Mauer had been getting some time at DH. They really need Thome's bat.

Furcal, Hart, and Bailey on the same team is kind of asking for it. Nishioka is unfortunate. Mauer was a question mark, and for most a good gamble. If I was a Mauer owner I would have kept him.
