What to do with DL eligible players

Today, Pittsburgh catcher Ryan Doumit was placed on the DL, leading to thousands upon thousands of fantasy owners dropping him from their team in exchange for some garbage replacement like Ramon Hernandez when they easily could have (and should have) just placed him on an empty DL spot.

They would still have to pick up a well-below average replacement while he is out, but once he comes back in mid-June or July (with still a good 2 or 3 months of baseball left), they will have a top 10 catcher in their lap.

So my advice to all of you is if somebody in your league drops a player that is slightly above average, pick him up, stash him on your DL, and laugh at the owner after he gets healthy and helps you win a title.
