Let's hope Freddie Freeman's stay on the disabled list will be a short one because it won't be easy for Fantasy owners to replace his presence in the lineup. He's off to a great start this season for the Braves after a stellar spring, so his absence will be felt.
In the meantime, Fantasy owners should consider looking to these players as potential stopgap Fantasy options while Freeman is sidelined. They are Matt Carpenter (owned 78 percent of Fantasy leagues), Brandon Belt (73 percent), Lance Berkman (73 percent), Yonder Alonso (64 percent), Mark Reynolds (59 percent), Brandon Moss (38 percent), Justin Smoak (30 percent) and Chris Parmelee (16 percent).
The guys I would target on this list are Berkman, Alonso, Smoak and Parmelee. I would say Belt as well, but I imagine he's probably taken in most of the deep formats. If not, he's a viable option as well.
