Just for kicks, I put together this team. Not a bad one at first sight. But without thinking too hard, what do they have in common?
- Toby Hall- C
- Mark Teixeira- 1B
- Mark Grudzielanek- 2B
- Rafael Furcal- SS
- Freddy Sanchez- 3B
- Bobby Abreu- OF
- Mike Cameron- OF
- Jose Guillen- OF
- Chien-Ming Wang- SP
- Randy Johnson- SP
- Kenny Rogers- SP
- Francisco Liriano- SP
- Kerry Wood- RP
- Luis Ayala- RP
- Eric Gagne- RP
That’s right, they are all starting the season on the disabled list.
Time was, it wouldn’t be till another couple weeks before I would be lamenting the amount of injuries in pro baseball. Not anymore.
