That's 12 seasons folks. Seattle had about 600 IL days missed. If we get back to health then I believe we are right back in the drivers seat next year.

I think it was the most injuries in a season in the history of baseball. Makes you wonder about strength and conditioning before injury and medical and rehab staff after injury.

J.P. France. Last SP to return after missing all of season (can't remember how much of last year he missed). He threw 18 pitches in his first game back and looked decent but was unhittable in 3 or 4 innings against the Angles in the last series of the season. If Valdez leaves then France might be a much needed ace that is ready to step in. Javier, Brown, France, McCullers, Anderson, Gordon, Arrighetti. If the injury bug stays away then that's a solid corp to work with.
