Dinelson Lamet out Until mid-May (3-25-18)

[revo]

Elbow soreness, uh oh. I really like him this year, too.

[joncarlos]

Well that isn't good at all. A lot of people liked him as a sleeper.

That news came out minutes after I won him for $12.

He went for $18 Sunday in our mixed 14 teamer with $300 budget. I dropped out of the bidding when it reached the teens.

So the Padres rotation wasn't exactly deep to begin with. Richard, Perdomo, Brian Mitchell... Tyson Ross? Matt Strahm? Joey Lucchesi who is apparently a pitcher and not a Sopranos character?

condolences for Pitbull are in order

04.13: Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union Tribune reports that Dinelson Lamet has been diagnosed with a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow and will undergo Tommy John surgery. (That not only ends the right-hander's 2018 season, but effectively sidelines him for the 2019 season as well. It's a tough break for the Padres and for fantasy owners who invested in the high-strikeout potential of the 25-year-old hurler.)

Can anyone explain how he wasn’t diagnosed with the tear a month ago? What happened since March 25th to aggravate it further?

I thought at the time it was a good buy but now it puts a damper on my pitching. Going to have to make a deal for a starter at some point.

$12 for a healthy Lamet was not crazy.
a rival of mine kept him for $10 AFTER he first went on DL. that seemed like a reach

It's not been a month. Swelling can take a while to go down, as can reporting of this news (because sometimes neither the team nor the player releases it). I doubt it is anything more than that. Once I heard the injury, I assumed TJ.

If I had read that while bidding you would have heard a loud squeaking noise which would have been me slamming on the brakes. The problem is your rival didn't have the information he needed and the Padres made it sound like he was progressing towards even coming back sooner than expected. The lesson here is if a pitcher is out for a long length of time and very little information is released expect the worse.
