Longoria - DL

[iceshots]

Uhhh this is a pretty important one I didn't see anywhere else on the site.

Rays placed 3B Evan Longoria on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left oblique.

It's expected to sideline him for at least three weeks, so he won't be back before late April even in a best-case scenario. The Rays will go with Sean Rodriguez as their primary third baseman while Longo is out, while Ben Zobrist will play second base and Matt Joyce right field. Felipe Lopez has been summoned from Triple-A and should also get some at-bats

Brutal! Oh well better to get this out of the way now rather than later

Good point Votto, its only 3 weeks so its not that bad.
Potential 3B replacements: Encarnacion, Rolen, Walker, Headley, Gordon and Valencia.

Atlanta's Chipper Jones is also available in a lot of leagues. He'd be my first choice.
