Keeper Question

Firstly, I apologize if this has been covered before…

So yesterday I was thinking of how awesome my fantasy baseball keepers were and a horrible scenario crossed my mind:

Let’s say I keep Weaver for a 2 year contract and he gets his arm chopped off by a helicopter in a horrible accident in May 2011. He’s done (or, in a more probable scenario he starts to really suck and gets benched). Because I have him for a two year contract, do I need to keep him on my roaster/dl list or can I drop him, but just lose one of my keepers for 2012?
The same question goes for a player that gets traded to the NL mid or off season. If that happens, do we lose a roaster spot and have the player ghost sit on our bench or just lose a keeper but have the same roaster spots?

I know this is early to be thinking about this but champions never stop planning for their future championship.

Ugh.

Carl Crawford

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have to keep him now right? I've been looking for an excuse to keep my favorite $37 player.

Power surge!

Adam Dunn, Adrian Gonzalez, and Mark Reynolds are all coming over from the NL. We could be looking at 100 home runs right there.
