Anyone have the Holliday/Dunn/Bautista/Stanton combo and getting a little irritated?

It has already been a weird year, but at least it is not 2008:

1. On July 1, 2008 Arizona catcher Chris Snyder was placed on the DL with a testicular fracture.

2. On March 25, 2008, Houston Astros second baseman Kaz Matsui was placed on the DL with an anal fissure. For the next few weeks, every report about Matsui said "Kaz Matsui (anal fissure) ..." As if it wasn't bad enough that the guy needed surgery on his anus, but they had to remind us with every update as to why he wasn't playing.

3. On July 19, 2008 Oakland first baseman Daric Barton was placed on the DL for a head injury that required 6 staples (that's right, staples, not stitches) to his head. That's not very funny. But what is funny is how he got injured - diving into a pool that was too shallow over the All-star break.

5. In May, 2008, Padres pitcher Shawn T. Estes was placed on the disabled list with a broken thumb ... that he suffered while falling down the clubhouse tunnel stairs.

6. Brandon Inge went on the DL in 2008 with a strained oblique which he hurt ... moving a pillow.

7. March 16, 2008 was a great day. That was the day Felix Pie of the Cubs returned to action a mere five days after surgery to correct a twisted testicle.

I'm a big believer in cause and effect, so when there are multiple injuries/ailments of the same variety it makes me wonder what is causing them. A couple years ago it was hip injuries. Now appendicitis to Holliday and Dunn early in the season. Strange.

I have now reached 6 players on my auction team on DL. Who do I drop? Greinke? Longoria? Dunn? Bailey? Ubaldo? Bay?

I have one healthy MR on the bench.

Think I used my karma on my parley cards and I'm paying for it here.

Maybe we should petition Greg and Tom for a rules change next year for a DL list exclusive of the reserve list. Not an unlimited number of players but at least a few DL slots would help.In a league with no trading it would add a new dimension to the NFBC. You would have to require players listed on a DL list to be re-activated back into the ineup probably no later than the second transaction date after coming off the DL . Failure to do so would put that player back into the free agent pool.That would prevent teams from carrying a player that was reactivated off the DL for an indefinite amount of time. Any thoughts or comments would be welcome.
