It took a whole three games! Somehow (possibly because I strangely really wanted him) Chipper Jones ended up on both my squads this year. Now, three games into the mix, he's reportedly shelved with an oblique and may miss the Braves weekend series with San Francisco.
I can't say I'm surprised.
Someone asked me how I thought my auction went right after the proceedings a couple weeks ago and my biggest crticism at the time was not having my roster structured in a way where I could carry another third baseman. It's a daily league, and I need a guy to fill in for Larry's multitude of maladies. So, it may be so long for Travis Snider, as I really need to fix my roster.
If you own Chipper, you better have a backup 3B on your roster. If your benches are thin and you can't roster another, wait until he gets healthy and deal him. Look, I love his production, but he's going to miss 30+ games this year, and many of those will be of the -- a few here a few there -- variety. Those little things can really cost you in the counting categories over the course of a season.
Cheers,
TFAM

Owning Chipper is a full-time job, and I already have one of those. No thanks.
Yeah, the $3 seemed like a bargain, but I think I crawled in bed with the devil.
