Well, that's ridiculous. Even if we lost him for the season we could win this division. Look how we've done with guys out left and right, plus a few All-Stars doing very little with the bat. Guys just have to step up, and history's said that they'll do much better than they have, even if they don't perform up to expectations.

He's our best hitter, by a pretty wide margin.
Lee, Bradley, and Soto (or at least two of the three) are going to have to step up in a really big way to even come close to making up for this loss. I worry about the psychological impact this is going to have, as well.
Who is going to play 3B now? Fontenot? 2B? Miles/Freel? And then who will play RF when Bradley hits the DL again? Hoffpauir? Oh, man...this is a nightmare.
