We are starting to pile up the injuries and while I know we have talked about them in a lot of different game threads (along with status, updates, and discussion), I thought maybe we could consolidate to one thread...unless anyone objects. 

Carp, shoulder nerve issues, his return is anyone's guess? I remember him stating his shoulder was stronger than ever last season in interviews and stuff. He said how he did all these strength exercises for it and blah blah blah. Did he just not do them this past off season? 

Linebrink, ?? I honestly don't know much on him other than he was shut down for arm issues

K-Mac, looks like his season is toast and maybe career. I feel for the guy and not to move on too early, but who do you think gets the call from Memphis and what are the corresponding moves? Shelby to the bullpen anyone? I think either Fick or Dickson get the call...or maybe Cleto.

Jay, separated shoulder, anyone know if this will be a minimum stay on the DL?

Craig, leg/hamstring, I think it was Austin who was vocally against putting him in the outfield quite yet...looks like you may have been right, but for the wrong reason. Unless you can argue a correlation between his knee not allowing his hammy to be in outfield shape yet. Minimum stay on the dl? I sure hope so as he was looking dang good in that 4-hole.

Beltran, knee/foot/feet...hmmm, maybe all those people complaining about our regulars not playing enough should ask the question, did MM play him too much in the early going?

Berkman, everything, I feel like he is kleenex just waiting to be blown out. I still don't know what he was scratched for but I assume it is the leg. I just hope with Craig and Beltran in their current states, that Berkman and MM don't over compensate.

Am I missing anyone? I really feel like Freese and Furcal should be on here too. Man those two need regular rest as well. This is just a really fragile team beyond Holliday and Molina.

MI-Kozma has shown he can fill in defensively, so there is a backup at 2b/ss. not much offense though

MI/OF-Velez has MLB experience and versatility to play just about anywhere, plus he has speed. no power though

OF- who else could we really call on? Chambers is up already and i doubt. Hamilton?

I'd almost rather bring up Wong and Tavarez if needed. However that's not in my hands and we generally don't want to get the ML clock ticking on them too soon.

There's this guy, who we just signed last week, I think:

http://www.baseball-reference....id=romak-001jam

He's off to a good start with Memphis (8--for-19 with a couple of RBI).  He's really a Quad-A kind of guy but he is a righthanded corner infielder with a little pop.
