[quote:d0c469678f="AdamKatz"]Hes good to go but if he was dropped after an injury in game 3 he probably had a bad injury reveal. check out what he got injured on (and against a R or L pitcher) and try to figure out which of his 5 cards he has.[/quote:d0c469678f]
Sometimes its a bad injury reveal, but then again, sometimes it's not. It's always worth checking. I picked up Reggie Jackson in a current league when (checking the boxscores) he showed a strikeout injury vs LHP. That could have been his worst year but could also have been his two best years. It was still in the 95% drop period, so I thought picking him up was worth the gamble, even though he hadn't hit much in 11 games with his first team. He started like a house afire for me and just kept going--he's currently has 32 HR in 293 AB with a .331 BA and 74 RBI in 77 games. He's sporting a OPS of 1.124. Soooo....at this point, I have little doubt it's his very best year (.994 OPS), and, as I say, it's generally worth checking the injury possiblities on a player with an "I"--it's free info and can sometimes lead to great results.
