This is the second time this has happened to him. Is this a sign of a loose knee cap that will need tightening at some point?
Seems to just pop without warning. What does this do to his value?
Good news from Rotoworld:
Freddie Freeman was walking without crutches Wednesday and said his right knee was feeling much better.
Freeman suffered a partial dislocation of his right kneecap while doing pick drills at first base Tuesday afternoon in Braves camp. He plans to wear a brace from now on and doesn't expect to miss much time, but it's not clear when he'll resume workouts.
MOREHEAD CITY, N.C. — Former Yankees pitching prospect Brien Taylor, the overall No. 1 selection in the 1991 draft, is facing multiple drug charges after his arrest in North Carolina.
The Carteret County Sheriff’s Office said the 40-year-old Taylor of Beaufort was arrested Thursday. A statement said undercover narcotics agents bought a large quantity of cocaine and crack cocaine from Taylor over several months.
Taylor is jailed under $275,000 bond. It wasn’t immediately known if he had an attorney. He was scheduled to appear in court Friday.
Taylor got a then-record $1.55 million signing bonus from the Yankees. But after excelling at Double-A in 1993, he got into a fight that winter and injured his pitching shoulder. He was never the same after major surgery and got above the low minors. -AP

Remember this recent, very talented prospect? I had him on my fantasy team for a few years.
"Former major league outfielder Elijah Dukes was arrested early Thursday in Tampa, Fla., after he committed a traffic violation and was found to have marijuana in his car, the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Dukes, who last played in the majors in 2009 with the Washington Nationals, allegedly tried to eat a plastic bag of marijuana when police officers noticed it. The police report Dukes also had a marijuana cigarette behind his right ear.
Elijah Dukes, caught holding the bag, he reportedly eats it. (AP Photo)Dukes has been charged with tampering with physical evidence, possession of less than 20 grams of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and driving with a cancelled, suspended or revoked license, the Tampa Bay Times reports. His bail was set at $4,750.
This is the fifth time Dukes, 27, has been arrested in the past year for various charges. He was no stranger to legal woes during his career, either, as he has numerous financial problems stemming from unpaid child support and alimony.
Last February, Dukes told the Tampa Bay Tribune that he often smoked marijuana before games while with the Nationals and alleged that teammates often brought marijuana and cocaine on team flights.
Dukes was a third-round pick of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in 2002 and was a .242 hitter with 31 homers and 123 RBIs in three major league seasons."
Elijah Dukes has bumped umps, choked a teammate and threatened to kill his wife and kids. If only the most menacing player in baseball weren't also one of the most talented.
Alex Cobb (very effective for TB last year before season ending injury. I know they're loaded at SP, but he's someone to keep an eye on in deep leagues in case any TB starter gets injured. He helped me out a lot last year)
