The Injury Bug Strikes

Up until 2015 it was lots of injuries just prior to the playoffs or during the playoffs. In 2012, the Cubs (my team) lost the entire starting pitching staff and three decent AAA call-ups to injuries.

2013 it was the entire starting OF, part of the IF, and a few pitchers injured just before the playoffs.

2014 it wasn't so bad, but Starlin Castro and a starter were injured just before the playoffs.

2015 has been horrible. One starting pitcher is out for the season. Another is out for four months. I pulled a blockbuster trade, sending three top prospects to Oakland for a stud starter. The very next game another starter was injured for the season. Anthony Rizzo (1B) was out for the first month. Josh Vitters (3B) has been out since the second week of the season, and is just returning. Starting RF is out until September.
