Posey May Be Out for the Season

Buster Posey is out 6-8 weeks, and possibly longer, after a collision with Marlins' outfielder Scott Cousins Wednesday night. According to the San Francisco Chronicle and Giants' head trainer Dave Groeschner, Posey has a broken fibula and torn ligaments in his left ankle. Three MRI's were also taken to determine any further damage to the 2010 NL Rookie of the Year.

"The fracture will be fine," Groeschner told the Chronicle. "The ankle injury is most concerning to us."

Posey will require surgery, which will take two months to recover from. If any further injuries are found, Posey could miss the entire season. As a fantasy owner, Posey is far too valuable to simply drop because of this injury. Wait to see how severe his injuries are before doing anything drastic. Ramon Hernandez will be a solid fill-in. Hernandez doesn't play every day, but he's reliable when he gets his starts. So far he's hitting .327 with a .558 SLG, 15 RBI's and 6 HR's (more than Posey had this season). He's owned in 32% of Yahoo! leagues.
