Chris Carpenter

Chris Carpenter will undergo Tommy John surgery and miss the rest of the season.

How's that five-year extension looking now? The Cardinals gave Carpenter a $63.5 million deal last winter, even though he was already under control through 2008. Maybe he'll come back and be something worth close to that. However, as many arm problems as he's had over the course of his career, there's just no guarantee that he'll ever again be a dominant starter. Tommy John surgery will put him out through at least the All-Star break. It's probably about 60-40 that he'll come back and make a positive impact over the final two months of 2008.

Sucks for fantasy owners who got 1 start out of him and probably payed $25+. He singlehandedly killed tons of fantasy teams this year.

I'd take his starts this week instead of Lowe's and Glavine's :(
