Hey look, an injury thread!
Perhaps here would be a good place to discuss the backs of Youk and Buchholz, the heal of Ortiz, the shoulder of Drew and the rehab assignments of Kalish, Doubront and Tazawa.
If you look at his track record, he's one of the best in baseball at singing low risk, high reward players and finding bargains but when it comes signing big name free agents he's done a terrible job. That's what makes me laugh when people say Epstein wouldn't be a good GM if he was working for a small market team.
We should just start a DL thread.
On the bright side, we have a humongous lead on the Wild Card and this will give us time to get everyone healthy and rested for October.
Good
David Ortiz
Bill Mueller
JD Drew
Adrian Beltre
Mike Timlin
Gabe Kapler
Kevin Millar (does that count as a free agent or is that considered a trade for cash considerations?)
Bad
Julio Lugo
Matt Clement
Daisuke Matsuzaka
Brad Penny
Ramiro Mendoza
Rudy Seanez
Kukuk is probably the most talent player we got after the 4th round (assuming you meant 4th round and not 4th pick). He's an 18 year old lefty whose fastball hits 95 a a plus slider and a changeup that needs some more work. He's still pretty raw but that's to be expected of an 18 year old.
