Outfielder Matt Holliday will have an appendectomy Friday, according to the St. Louis Cardinals. Holliday felt pain in his stomach after yesterday's season opening loss to the Padres, in which Holliday went 3 for 4 with a home run. Holliday hit .312 with 28 HR's and 103 RBI's in 2010 and is projected to be one the top fantasy outfielders in 2011. This could be a major blow to fantasy owners who took Holliday with an early pick, however I wouldn't abandon him this early in the season. Four to six weeks may seem like an eternity, but Holliday is worth holding on to. In 2005, Holliday only played in 125 games, but he still hit .307, with 19 HR's and 87 RBI's. His power numbers may drop slightly when he returns, but having Pujols in the lineup will help him drive in runs and see better pitches. If you're that panicked, the beginning of the season is a great time to try to steal another outfielder in a trade.
