The St. Louis Cardinals have the greatest number of players resting on the disabled list in all of MLB. This is unacceptable but is likely unavoidable during a normal season of player exposure. That said, I find myself questioning if the number of injuries has more to do with the players and their conditioning, a problem with the medical staff, or a distrust in management.
We discussed this conundrum in our most recent podcast. If you missed it, catch it here.
