2008 Major League Baseball Pitcher InjuriesAttached are more than four pages listing all the MLB pitchers (based on a team's 40-man roster) who went on the disabled list in 2008. The latter two categories note pitchers who were making comebacks and those who suffered injuries toward the end of the year, but weren't put on the DL. In a number of cases with the comeback pitchers, they never made it to the mound due to continued recovery time that was needed. I didn't even bother listing pitchers who were considered day-to-day due to injuries, since compiling that list might have rivaled "War and Peace" in its length. You'll notice that some pitchers pulled a hamstring or groin, then later had shoulder or elbow trouble when trying to pitch through the injury. Due to my rudimentary knowledge of anatomy, I simply categorized the injuries by what was stated in the media at the time. Feel free to lump certain ones together (labrum/shoulder, pectoral/oblique, etc.) if you so choose. My main reason for putting this list together was your mention of the upcoming clinics that you'll be speaking at in January and beyond. I thought this might make an eye-catching handout to your guests, since it's quite obvious that MLB (the "experts" who have done countless studies on how to reduce arm injuries) doesn't even remotely have a clue with respect to stopping this scourge. It may also stop a potential devil's advocate in the crowd who doubts your ability to end such injuries when you can explain exactly what these players could have done to prevent damage to their bodies. In closing, I would think Kevin Millwood of Texas might be in contention for the non-existent Moron Pitcher of the Year award. On THREE separate occasions, he went on the DL after straining his groin. The sad fact is you could probably find others who might also be in this category. I would say "Enjoy," but the more proper word might be "Cringe." -------------------------------------------------- I. Head and Neck Injuries (04) A. Neck (03) 01. Buddy Carlyle (ATL) Strain 02.
