I think the Crawford deal would actually hurt my team this year. I am losing the #2 MI in the game for an OF that is hurt. My OF already consists of LoMo, Stanton, Kemp, Hart so Crawford might not even start even if he is 100% healthy.

It kind of baffled me... I figured you would resign Weeks with no issue there.

I have been so scattered lately that I didn't even realize he was hurt.  The rankings would be better if I would look at every team on Fantrax each week, but that is way too much involvement.

Thought you'd learn after the Kris Medlin bids to always check the injury status

Yep.  Medlen was a mistake; Pettite was by design (and then abandoned).

Just Curious... how did I end up with your mistake on my team?
