I keep seeing people refer to Cain like he's incredibly injury prone. I realize most of that is the impression from this season, but the guy is pretty durable. He's not Cal Ripken, but some Royals fans act like the guy is J.D. Drew or something (Not Saul - just in general).
Games played by Cain, career, by year:
2005: 56 (rookie ball - short season)
2006: 132
2007: 126
2008: 126
2009: 60 (Hamstring injury)
2010: 127
2011: 134
2012: 75 (hip flexor injury)
He's been a pro for 8 seasons. He has had serious injury time missed in just two of them. Not a crazy ratio at all for someone who plays CF.
