Not knowing who else is on your team, nor the format, it's a bit tough. I would dump Harden. He's too injury prone. The A's are about to do the same thing. Pick up K. Escobar if he's available. Be patient with Abreu and Konerko. Slow starts, but it's a long season. They will pick it up. Add Reggie Willits to the mix if you can. Hottest OF in baseball right now.

ABREU no doubt much more possibility hes struggling because yeanks are struggling. Konerko is good but use him in a trade no way hes will be able to put up the numbers he has put up in the last two years but abreu could and possibly more since hes playing for a team that everyone can hit and harden its hard to tell hes on the 15 day DL but to be safe with him its probably going to be at least a month.

Harden has a history of injury problems and this year is no different. Even if he comes back he could go down again. You might want to move him. Konerko and Abreu are both off to a slow start and should be fine by the end of the year.

I can give you great advice. First of all, I just traded for Konerko. He will be fine, he's hurt you a little thus far but you stuck with him, now enjoy. Thome is back to protect him. Plus, the biggest problem with the Cubs and White Sox has been the weather in Chicago. It's been freezing. Now that it is starting to heat up, I predict Konerko will be back to form.
Abreu on the other hand I'm not sure about. He just looks like
he doesn't want to swing the bat. He's working hard for the walk that used to come so easily to him. Plus he has absolutely no power at all. We all know he doesn't hit homers anymore, but we all thought doubles would be plentiful. I would try and trade Abreu, but don't sell too low. Point out his numbers in the past and that the Yankees are about to breakout. The lineup hasn't been set at all this year and once he finds his comfort zone he will produce. Plus he never gets injured.
Harden is tough. I have him on on my fantasy roster as well and this injury looks at this point a lot worse than we had initially thought. That being said I think we have gotten through the worse. He had a minor setback, but I think Oakland is being overly cautious with him for a couple reasons. 1- Obviously they want him to be healthy bc when healthy he is one of the most dominant starters in baseball. But the other reason might be to try and trade him. One more injury out of Harden and his value will steeply decline. Again, you've waited this long with Harden, stick with him, it looks like he should be back in a week or 2.

Look in you league for fans of either team it's usually in there team name like Yanks will win, and offer them a trade for there best player not on there favorite team and add a note saying such a Yankee's fan needs's abreu.
