This is for my non-SDMB league, but the level of injury action is stupendous. Currently, I have the following players, all on the injured list:
Nomar Garciaparra
Scott Rolen
David Wells
Curt Schilling
Kerry Wood
Jason Isringhausen
Wily Mo Pena
Ben Sheets
That’s the makings of a pretty darn good team yet every single one is pretty much useless right now.
I saw the title of this thread and thought “how does one get injuried playing fantasy baseball?”
How many people are in your league? If not for injuries, that looks like a pretty good lineup, unless it’s a very small league.
Who could have foreseen Nomar, Wood, or Isringhausen getting hurt…?
Tell me about it. I’ve got the following on the DL:
Jason Schmidt
Jason Isringhausen
Kerry Wood
Guillermo Mota
Jim Thome
Magglio Ordonez
I’m in last now.
A self-inflicted groin pull?
Pfft. Fantasy?
Schmidt, Benitez, Bonds. And that’s the <i>real</i> team.
Pikers. This is my currently DL:
Gagne
Bonds
Rolen
Craig Wilson
Todd Walker
Lofton
Ishii
G. Mota
Aurilla
Antonio Perez (LA)
I’m changing my team’s logo to a little Red Cross. 
Another manager in one of my leagues offered to trade me Adam Dunn for Scott Rolen. I said, “OK”, since I had another, better third-baseman on my team and Rolen was sitting on the bench. A couple days went by to allow the rest of the league to approve the trade… they did. The very next day, Rolen went on the DL. I kinda feel sorry for the other manager. Now I’ve got a good first baseman, and he’s got a gimp.
I’ve lost Rolen, Khalil Greene, and Armando Benitez. And Mike Hampton left Saturday night’s game in the third inning, which cannot be good. But none of those incidents was as damaging as having a healthy LaTroy Hawkins on my team.
So…this isn’t about the Moria Firewings’ championship playoff against the Hobbiton Nosocks in the Middle World Series?
How many DL spots do you guys have?! In my experience I’ve only had one or two.
Injuries are still better than massive six-week slumps–at least you can depend on free agent replacements in the mean time who might keep it up enough to become tradeable. But stick with a struggling star, it uses up a roster spot and you can’t drop him for that surprise free agent (not that you should, but the DL spot would free up room for that).
I’ve gotten 350 ABs out of Eric Chavez, Jason Giambi, and Richard Hidalgo, with a .195 average and pitiful power to show for it. Admittedly, the last two aren’t exactly studs these days, but in a 12-team league they are (or seemed to be) more than decent gambles.
I read it as if someone was to play baseball, this would be their fantasy injury.
