I have to fall on the side of "noise" when it comes to the injuries. Either that or Jobu has left a residual curse from last season. It's seems short-sighted to blame Dr. Martin, McKay, etc for veterans pulling up a little gimpy. You think Dr. Martin, who probably has spent the spring inputting data and evaluating charts, knows Cruz better than he knows himself? If there was ever a model of what baseball health should shoot for, it's Ichiro. He pulled himself out. How much time has McKay and gang spent with any of these gimpy guys? Seems to me all McKay's young bucks are doing just fine with the legs. (hint: they're young)
Granted, the numbers are a little disconcerting. And the track history isn't great. The reality is that injuries are a big part of the game, unfortunately. As Doc says, it's often a roll of the dice. Show me a team that year over year avoids numerous injuries and I'll show you a team who's cheating ;)
