The all Hurt MLB team!

I want to comment on how much of an injury risk some ballplayers are. I look at many players who have had so many expectations, but have got hurt. I wonder (and I doubt) if they can do an entire year healthy? It makes me sad when I hear people rank these guys at the beginning of the year as the best of thier positions. Sure they may have great stuff on paper, and when they do play they are on fire, yet the odds of them actually playing are slim. I feel bad for the owners who are stuck with the contracts of these players.
This is my team of players who is great, but is always hurt.
C. Joe Mauer: (Sure, he had that one good year, but he is always hurt now, and can't handle the grind of being behind the plate.)
1B. Mike Sweeney: (I think this guy is great, He is old, beat up, and his good days are behind him.)
2B. Rickie Weeks: (Another guy with potential, yet there is always something bothering him!)
3B. Scott Rolen: (I think this guy flat out does not want to play?)
SS. Bobby Crosby: (Peter Gamons picked this guy to win the MVP a few years back, yet his back prevented this)
OF. Jermaine Dye: (This man had potential, yet he got hit and was never the same.)
OF. Rocco Baldelli: (I dont think he ever wants to play!)
OF. Jim Edmonds: (He hustled too much when he was young.)
SP. Rich Harden: (Maybe next year? Maybe NOT!)
SP. Mark Prior: (Was he ever good? I don't remember)
SP. Carl Pavano (One year got him a huge contract)
RP. Joel Zumaya: (Watch out when you walk buddy)!
I'm sure you can think of many more that fills this list, yet I know and you know that these guys will never be healthy! Once they become free agents, some owner will want to sign them. I am sorry for that! Maybe one or 2 guys will suprise us? I doubt it!
