Another thing that has been mentioned but I'll say it again....no way in hell we can go two seasons in a row with as few injuries as we had in 2013. And **** me having one of our infielders go down and having Valencia or bum Gio have to play long stints.
We lead the league in 2013 is least days by players on the DL. Not a single MLB pitcher went on the DL once the season started. That's ****ing absurd and won't be repeated.
So we lead the AL in ERA and had the fewest injuries and still didn't make the playoffs? I'm not trying to be a downer but I just don't see how people can be so sure that we will match or exceed our 2013 win total.
Below are statistics to show the above facts about injuries.
