Bruce will have surgery this week to repair a partially-torn meniscus in his left knee. He is expected to miss 3-to-4 weeks, ESPN reports.

Should I try to get someone for him? Drop him? Pick someone else up?

Can't put him on your DL?

yeah I can. I had Headley on there now. Should I drop Headley instead? Beltre is my 3rd base right now

actually .... No I can't put Bruce on the DL yet. ESPN doesn't have him listed as DL just DTD

Kind of a tough call between Beltre and Headly, in my opinion, since neither has done much this year, but both have strong track records. I'd be inclined to go with Beltre, but that might just be my own personal bias.

I know that I would be reluctant to drop Bruce. He's another guy who is off to a slow start (and is no headed to the DL), but who also has a history of mashing.

Yeah I am really torn here. I mean this is my one and only money league I am in and I want to win. Yet I know all 3 will contribute and do well ( or at least should) but I can't afford to be idle since two are out (well, supposedly Bruce heading to DL)

I would still drop Headley before Bruce. And slide Bruce into the DL slot once ESPN catches up.

I think that he will probably be listed DL eligible before the games start tonight.

Torn about what? Beltre's hall of fame career or Headley's one good half season in his career???? This is a no brainer. Bruce to the DL, drop Headley. Don't ever think about dropping Beltre... geesh.

Kind of similar outrage on my part to ever be thinking to drop bruce over Headley...

Bruce you got in the 4th round?? headley the 12th??

Both are having bad seasons, why would you trust the one with such a worse upside?? Just because he plays 3B?? well, there you already have beltre!!!

No, I just want to win right now and you have to make some calls and drop some people that you really don't want to drop

If you want a 4th/5th/6th/whatever opinion, drop Headley. The guy has had one good/breakout year out of a mediocre career.

I'm also the president of the "I hate Headley and can't figure out what everyone see's in this schlub" fanclub.

Nope, he is on the DL right now anyway. Just wanted to know who to drop and should it have been Bruce. That's all.
