1 0 All Rob Reed^2800 Chris Carpenter is out for the remainder of the season and part of '08 due to Tommy John surgery 7/20/07, 12:14pm Once again, this is why I put MUCH less importance on paying a lot of money in fantasy for the top tier pitchers. For one, the top tier pitcher could bomb. But, more importantly, like in this case, they could get injured. Fortunately, I was never a big Carpenter fan, so I don't have him on any of my teams. But, there are an unfortunate many out there who had Carpenter as their #1 and were relying on him to carry the staff. Eek. [Rob Reed from Sylmar/CA] Replies:
