SignOnSanDiego.com > San Diego Padres -- Loretta to have surgery Tuesday on left thumb
Ouch! After establishing himself as a $20+ 2B, Loretta tears a thumb ligament.
The question is who will benefit. Geoff Blum is the obvious answer, and he should be grabbed if available - low double digit HR and multi-position eligibility (2B/SS/3B) is always welcome.
The less obvious player is Damian Jackson. He may not provide a contributive AVG, but he has more position eligibilty than Blum and should provide double digit SB.
Double digit SB is always more valuable than double digit HRs in 4X4, and for that reason, given the choice of the two, I'd go with DJax.

The smarter thing to do would be to move Burroughs to 2b and play Nady at 3b, since both are 10x the player Blum and/or Jackson are
I agree, and that would also make Nady and Burroughs more valuable for the teams that own them.
My guess would be defense keeps that from happening, but I'd like to see it for eligibilty purposes.
Don't be surprised if it happens, but I wonder if Polanco to SD could happen.
It certainly makes a lot fo sense - Polanco for Linebrink?
