Injury Report Sunday March 16

Thee were a slew of major new injuries this week

Adrian Colin LAA - A journeyman working in long relief. Out for much of the season with a career threatening arm fractue
60-Day
3/9/2008 PM


Orlando Owen LV - A major blow to the Outlaws season. Owen had been a solid starter the first part of the season. He should return next year. The Outlaws may be seeking a replacement.
60-Day
3/14/2008 PM2


Daryle Kent LAA - Kent's career has suffered a major setback, but the impact on LAA should be minor. Kent's career projected as a LRA with injury risk - the major injury has come early
60-Day
3/14/2008 AM


Jared Hubbard BAL - One of the reasons Baltimore increased its training and medical budget the last 2 years. Hubbard had been off to a torrid start in his rookie year, but will now be out for 23 games. The Crabs will likely keep him out a little longer.
15 - Day
3/11/2008 PM2

Ralph Roth SXF - About to return from the DL, Roth has been a starter. Will he regain his slot at the end of the order or be headed to the pen for LR
15-Day
3/10/2008 PM


Jerome Harris SF - The starting CF with an excellant health history, Harris' injury was not anticipated. Fortunately for the Sharks there should be no long term impact and Harris should be returning shortly
15-Day
3/10/2008 PM2


Benjamin Kinney TOL - Not technically a rookie, Kinney has spent much of his career in the minors. The injury is a blow to his career and emphasises his injury tendencies. He should return to pre-inury form but whether his starting position will still be available is a question.
15-Day
3/13/2008 PM


Cameron Stewart LV - One of the outlaws studs. A long term injury to Stewart would be a problem. Fortunately for the outlaws this is not a biggie. He should return in 14 days as good as new.
15-Day
3/14/2008 AM


Ahmed King FLA - Out 33 day former Cy Yound winner King is having a tough season. Already not performing to expectations this is the kind of free agent signing that can get a GM in trouble. Fortunately the contract is for only one year. Watch for King on the trade market after the all-star break.
15-Day
3/14/2008 PM2


Rich Stokes SLC - Out 30 days Stokes is another player who had not been pitching to form. Was it due to underlying injury? Will he return to form or is this a lost season? In the 2nd year of a 3 year FA contract Stokes has a year and a half to get his career back on track.
15-Day

There were no new career threatening injuries to ML prospects at the minor league level
