| Player | Position | Injury | Opening Day? |
| Freddy Sanchez | 2B | Shoulder (L), Knee (L) | N |
| Mark DeRosa | UTIL | Wrist (L) | Q |
| Travis Ishikawa | 1B | Foot (L) | Q |
| Emmanuel Burriss | SS/2B | Foot (L) | N |
| Thomas Neal | LF | Head | Y |
| Nate Schierholtz | RF | Knee (L) | Y |
I've been trying to gather all the information regarding Giants' players and their injuries during ST. I thought it would be handy to have a table detailing who is hurting, a brief injury description, and their chances for making Opening Day.
So far I've got 6 players that have been hurt during ST. I'm probably missing a few guys. Anyone else with injury problems right now that should be on the list? Also, the colors are self-explanatory. Red = unable to play on Opening day, Yellow = questionable, and Green = Healthy (at this time) to start the season.

Is DeRosa questionable for opening day? I thought he was expected to be playing again in the next week or so.

Yeah he hasn’t played yet, but it doesn’t sound like it’s something that’s going to last until April.

I worry about old guys with wrist problems. Maybe I’ll leave him yellow for now and when he starts getting into games, move him to green?

That sounds fair enough. I’m a bit worried too, tbh, but they wouldn’t sign him if his wrist wasn’t going to be okay, right? RIGHT?

Can we say Confirmation Bias?
Not that I don’t agree with you.
Jonathan Sanchez: Often maddening to watch, but capable of perfection on a moment's notice---just like his adoptive father.
Yup.
A 35 year old guy with a wrist injury should certainly be questionable until he gets into a few games (I’d say at least a week, maybe two).

Is that Thomas Neal’s right or left head? That’s the only thing I can’t figure out.
I don't know about that, to the groin.
Didn’t Nate also hit his head on the cage, and that was the reason he had trouble getting up after the foul?
Bochy: What’s this fancy stat here?

I think it was his knee but I remember someone else getting hit in the face.

Pill got hit in the face
Adopted brother of Jason Jarvis. To pass the time during the offseason I decided to try my hand at blogging about photography and music.
Another participant in that simulated game, right fielder Nate Schierholtz, endured a scare when he fouled an inside fastball from Tanner off his left kneecap — a rare occurrence for a left-handed batter. Unable to stand due to the pain in his knee, Schierholtz topped backward and struck his head against one of the metal supports in the batting cage. Groeschner and hitting coach Hensley Meulens hoisted Schierholtz from the ground and began to lead him from the field, but minutes later he felt fine.
I’m not crazy.

I thought it was a funny description, too.

I think Nate’s status should be Probable, not Questionable.

Thomas Neal’s head is made of titanium and is impervious to injury.

So three players projected as opening day starters are either questionable or definitely not going to be ready by opening day (with the caveat the I think Derosa is expected to be healthy, but yeah, old dude with wrist injury…)?
I know there’s luck involved in health (Ishikawa for example) but just another example of questionable decisions by management.

No luck involved when you trade for/sign a guy you already know to be hurt!
by Missing Barry on Mar 8, 2010 11:09 AM PST up reply actions
Known quantity! Proven history of injury!
Jonathan Sanchez: Often maddening to watch, but capable of perfection on a moment's notice---just like his adoptive father.
Absolutely, and that’s my point. Ishikawa’s injury was just bad luck, but Derosa and F. Sanchez are not at all a shock considering their age and history. Just another example of why signing them (for so much money) was questionable.

Nate’s injury also strikes me as bad luck.

I know you nerds know NOTHING about the real game of baseball, or any other athletic endeavor requiring teamwork under physical stress.

You’re thinking of Kobe Bryant. I believe wanna ishikawa? is referring to Kobe Bryans, the famous pimp.
I don't know about that, to the groin.

Kevin Frandsen wants to point out that he would never dream of injuring his teammates to improve his own chances of making the roster, and besides, he has airtight alibis for the times of Sanchez’s and Burriss’s injuries.
