M L INJURIES
Bill Michaels
This guy is doing the Black Sox a favor by going on the DL. Thats probably why he's on the 60 and not the 15.

William Tabaka
William "Smokeless" Tabaka is on the DL Again. But hey its only the 15 this time.

Trot Borders
This overachieving Catcher will miss 5 months.

Wayne Zerbe
Just a short stay on the DL

Julio Mercado
Julio "Flea " Mercado will miss 5 months with a nerve problem. Ah... he only makes 10.7 million.

David Seanez
A Hernia will sideline this Cobra for 2 months. Cough* Cough*

Kelly Clinton
Just a tight groin here!!

Jerome Zaun
I lost 1 of my SP for the rest of the season and probably next year Too!! This is probably due to his signing a contract extension.

Thomas Anderson
This catcher will miss 3 weeks

Tarrik Francis
This future Hall of Fame pitcher is out 2 weeks. He's still very happy to be out of Vancouver.

Victor Lilly
Victor "Dew on the" Lilly will be out for 3 months with a torn hammy. He didn't take that bad of a hit. Look for the Delicate Flower in the free agent market next offseason.
