11th player currently on the Mets DL. Still, were we to do a survey of MLB clubs, would we not find more than a handful in the same boat?
What is it about baseball today that makes players so injury-prone?
Over-caution, for one thing, which is in turn a manifestation of how money has ruined the sport. That's on both sides, team and player.
A crappy attitude in some cases, too? Less than willing to endure some soreness to benefit the team?
There I go again, sounding like an old curmudgeon. But if you are of an age, you will remember a time when having 11 players on the DL at once would have seemed like a plague or natural disaster necessitating the Red Cross.
