Interesting- it would be useful to collect info about other players, Major and minor leaguers, who will miss most or all of 2008. A few:
Chris Ray, BAL, elbow surgery
Danys Baez, BAL, elbow
Henry Owens, FLA, rotator cuff surgery
Josh Johnson, FLA, Tommy John
Willie Eyre, TEX, Tommy John
Brendan Donnelly, BOS, Tommy John
Carl Pavano, NYY, Tommy John
Angel Guzman, CHIC, elbow
Russ Ortiz, FA, elbow
Juan Lara, CLE, career likely over [edited, had mistakenly listed Juan Salas]
Joe Kennedy
Guys who may miss a good part of the year:
Anibal Sanchez, FLA, torn labrum
Joel Zumaya, DET, shoulder
Chris Carpenter, STL
Matt Smith, PHI
And in the minors:
Casey Crosby, DET, Tommy John, out for season
Jeremy Jeffress, MIL, 50 game suspension
Raul Padron, OAK, 50 game suspension
Justin Jones, WAS [released], knee, out for season
Nick Schmidt, SD, elbow, out for season
Andrew Brackman, NYY, Tommy John, out for season
Matt Bush, SD, elbow, out for season
Anthony Lerew, ATL, Tommy John, out til mid/late 2008
Kyle Drabek, PHI, Tommy John, out til late 2008
Dallas Buck, ARI, Tommy John, out until at least mid 2008
25 guys, and 24 of them are pitchers- the only position player is out with a drugs suspension; seems to me OOTP needs to get that balance of serious injuries right. Does anyone know of other players to add to the list above?
