replacing a player after may 2 because of injury?

i don't believe you can replace him, this is just coming from the back of my head. Injury related things can't be replaced although there are other excuses that will allow replacement past the deadline

I wouldn't panic just yet. Pretty early in the season unless you are not playing head to head. Might try dangling them to other owners but a lot of people won't be apt to trade this early. But there are people out there that give up on players as soon as they have a bad week or two so you might be able to get a slow starter for em. Personally I would just ride it out for a week or two more.

It means they don't know when he will be back, could be a month, could be for the season. With a sprained ankle, it should not be more than a week, in fact Yahoo Sports says "he may not even miss a single game."

A few negative effects can come from this:\n\n1) If the team is not playing on a given day, you will have three open spots in the lineup to fill, which requires a deep bench.\n\n2) If the team if facing a strong pitcher on a given day, all three players might have an off day at the same time, or for some cases during the same week, which could really hurt you in a head-to-head league.\n\nTry trading away one of these players if possible!\n\nHelper Guy

The best thing for them to do is to take it easy (i.e. don't trade him right away, NOT slack off on some games) for another month, and see where they are on July 28th or so.  If they think they can still contend, then they need to keep him; however, most likely they will not be in it by then (I hate saying that, I'd like to see the little guys play well, but let's face it, there's just not as much parity in MLB as there is in the NFL).  The nice thing is that they can afford to wait and listen to some serious offers, and as long as they stay within striking distance, they can drive the offers up.\n\nThey will definitely lose him at the end of the season, so they would be wise to trade him for some good talent that is locked up for a year or two, but the closer they are, the more they'll get for him.

No, you should keep him. He's coming back, there's little doubt about that (its just a matter of where and when). Fantasy games are fickle because people drop and trade based on streaks. Avoid that. He'll be back and he'll be good. The risk of that is worth a bench spot for now, isn't it? If he decides not to play by June or July, then pick up somebody else. But if he decides to play and you traded him for some fourth-starter, you'll kick yourself.

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.

Is it a playoff league? If it is, you'll want him when he comes back. If it's a roto league, you might hold on to him for another week or so. I imagine he'll be back before too long.\n\nEDIT: It looks like he's back now. I hope you didn't drop him.

Drop Bonds. You'll get too many walks. Not to mention he isn't really playing full time. I don't think his knees will last all season.

Nene recently got "injured" in today's game and Eduardo Najera seems to be the new designated starter in Kenyon Martin's absence.  Taking this into consideration along with the fact that he is no longer "C" eligible (which you mentioned), makes him expendable.  As for Claxton, many fantasy analysts can see a lot of potential in him as he is a starter for the first time in his career.  It is just unfortunate that he got a minor injury recently, but he should be back in uniform soon.  Maybe it would be wise to give Speedy a little more time and keep him on your team.\n\nOverall, I feel that you should dump Nene in favor of Ryan Gomes who is now the Celts starting PF after recording his first triple-double a couple of days ago.  Added to his is that his main backup--Al Jefferson--just had an appendectomy and is out for the next two to three weeks.\n\nLastly, I heard Jason Williams has started practicing again and should be back next week or the week after at the latest.  Help is on the way!  Good Luck!

He will be out for 6 weeks, well thats what has been said in the papers. \n\nSo he might miss the 1st 2 games.

The person with NA is no longer on a teams roster. Lately Yahoo has had some problems, so dont drop them yet.

ok try playing a season of football then tell me if you wanna sign up to play another one two months later there bodies need time to heal and relaxa little otherwise the second season would be all bench warmers cuz all the stars would be hurt

He's definitely NOT gonna play a single match. He's broken his metatarsal! Those things take ATLEAST 2 months to heal to full fitness! He broke it in the 1st week of May. Add 2 months to that & you're at the 1st week of July. If they even get to the finals without him, it'd be silly to bring him on with hardly any real practice under his belt!\n\nNo chance is he gonna play in this WC!

Can you make trades?  You need to replace Ross at C.  You also need more OF power.  Maybe trade some of those 2b/3b?

He's out 4-6 weeks, maybe longer. You should be able to drop a guy if he can't help you out for over a month, especially at this point in the season. It's hard to see how he could help a fantasy team much from here on out.
