Fantasy Baseball: Gagne's Hurt, Go Pick Up... Oh, Why Do I Even Bother?

So it was announced this evening that Eric Gagne is going under the knife soon to remove a nerve. The Dodgers knew there was some risk here, which is why they signed Danys Baez in the off-season. Baez is good - he got 41 saves with the D-Rays last year, with a very good ERA (his WHIP could use some work - but he did pitch in the AL East).

I then immediately scoured my ridiculous amount of leagues I'm in. Here are the results:

• 4 Head-To-Head leagues: Baez is taken
• AL-only: not an issue
• 1 Franchise: Baez is taken (Holds)
• 2 Yahoo Winners leagues: Baez is taken (1 to back up Gagne)
• Baseball Prospectus/ESPN league: Baez is taken
• 5 Yahoo public leagues: Baez is taken
• 3 serious leagues (money and friends' leagues): Baez is taken (2 to back up Gagne, 1 in a league with Holds)

What?!? Okay, he's good - and Gagne wasn't 100% over the spring. But there have been several closer changes already, and the type of owners that stockpile potential closers would have moved Baez for Rodney, Worrell or maybe even Papelbon (go and get him, by the way - even if he doesn't close (which he will by committee, if not outright by the ASB) he'll be Linebrink/Duscherer solid). And we're talking SEVENTEEN leagues here! These people have even less of a life than I do! (Okay, that may be an exaggeration.)
