A Clemens, Bell, Keaschall, Lee who have largely been durable (Keaschall's HBP broke bone last year gets a flier) vs a Kirilloff, Buxton, Ryan, Lewis perpetually on the verge of breakdown gives the manager one less thing to worry about. Sometimes it is dumb luck. Sometimes it's smart attention to what am athletes body is saying.
Say what you want about Yoendrys Gomez, Taylor Rogers and Travis Adams. They've answered the call most every time they've been needed.
