Yovani Gallardo tears ACL, on DL

More bad news in the world of fantasy as one of my favorite young stud SP's Yovani Gallardo is back on the DL and may require surgery (meaning out for a long time). This is too bad as Yovani was hurt earlier in the year and then came back and looked great. He wasn't striking batters out like he did the year before but a 1.80 ERA is worth mentioning.

This may mean another cursed year for the Brewers as they have not been in the playoffs since 1982, I believe. It looked like they were turning the corner with their young talent but having to rely on Ben Sheets to stay healthy now that Gallardo is out might be asking a little too much. Dave Bush and Jeff Suppan are not performing like they should so they will also need the younger pitchers at the end of the rotation to step up like Carlos Villanueva and Manny Parra. They have both had really nice outings at times, and really poor at other times. Manny probably has more high end potential but he also hasn't pitched more than 5.1 innings in any game this year.

Well at least Ryan Braun is back to mashing pitchers.
