Another Finger

Carl Crawford follows Carlos Lee onto the disabled list with a bad finger.

Carl Crawford has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a subluxation of his right middle finger tendon, and his status for the remainder of the season is unknown.

Rocco Baldelli was activated off the disabled list to take Crawford's place on the roster; Eric Hinske was penciled in as Sunday's left fielder.

I don't know how much this really hurts. Crawford was an out machine this year, posting a .319 OBA with little power. If the Rays had picked up Jason Bay, they wouldn't be missing Crawford much. Baldelli hit great at AA, but we'll see how it translates to the majors.

No big deal. Baldelli won't have to hit much to replace Crawford's .719 OPS. Crawford was always overrated, anyway, with a career .764. Comparing him to Bay is a joke.
