And of course a good follow-up question to this thread would be: If the tendency to be injury-prone appears to be outside the control of the player, as most of the responses here seem to indicate, why do so many fans have such contempt for the player who suffers the injuries, calling them "glass-man" and other things. I understand being frustrated by the frequent injuries, but I have a feeling our frustration is not even in the same ballpark as that of the injured players. Personally I don't think it's right to spew venom at the guy who got hurt trying to help the team any way he could, or to assume that he's somehow lazy or unmotivated because of it.
