Not nearly as bad as you 2, but in SO49, an online league, I just had picked up Ralph Branca. My scouts said he would be a future number 1 starter. Anyway, he hurt his back, and was out for the last 3 months of the season. This year, his ratings didn't drop severely, but he's now only gonna be a 2 or 3 guy....
Kinda similar....but then again, Branca is having a pretty good year, and financials are off. Def. feel for you guys though!
