Spate of Injuries in first 12 games

[artie4121]

In my first 12 games, I've had 7 different injuries on six players, ALL of which have a "1" injury rating and two who have 600+ PAs.

Logan Morrison 3 games
Shin-Soo Choo 2 games
Lorenzo Cain 1 game
ARod 7 games
Shin-Soo Choo 3 games
Yadier Molina 6 games
Billy Butler 3 games

I've only had my "regular" lineup in for the first two games.

I'm imagining and hoping this is not how the next 12 games will go. Unusual for players with "1" ratings.

You want to talk about injuries. How about this 17 game stretch:

1. Game 10 - Luis Castillo (15 games)
2. Game 15 - Alcides Escobar (3 games)
3. Game 18 - Jonathan Broxton (5 games)
4. Game 19 - Jeff Fiorentino (remainder of game)
5. Game 20 - Alcides Excobar (5 games)
6. Game 25 - Jose Mijares (1 game)
7. Game 26 - Manny Ramirez (1 game)
8. Game 27 - David Ross (15 games)
9. Game 27 - Jeff Fiorentino (2 games)

About two weeks ago, I had Manny Ramirez and Dave Ross both go down for 10 game injuires. In addition, it seems like in just about every other series I am losing players for 2 or 3 games.

Now for the silver lining: My team is sporting a 83-58 record, has a 13 game lead in my division and is tied for the best record in the league. :P
I guess it's just a matter of time before the wild card team knocks me out of the playoffs in the first round. :roll:

In all seriousness, the frequency of injuries seems to have increased. I don't know if it's across the board, however, and this may just be an anomaly. But it is interesting to see that other teams have also been plagued by an unusually high number of injuries.

Hang in there. It's always darkest before the dawn.
