The Magnificent Seven (On The DL)

The Magnificent (DL'D) Seven

Jacoby Ellsbury, Carl Crawford, Cody Ross, Ryan Sweeney, Darnell McDonald, Ryan Kalish, and Jason Repko all have two things in common: they are outfielders for the Boston Red Sox and they are on the disabled list. Seven outfielders on the DL—it has to be some sort of record. Heck, there were Iowa caucus sites smaller than this.

As the Red Sox pass the one-quarter pole of the season (21-22 after 26.54% of the season played), it's actually remarkable that they're only six and half out with all this carnage. And, we're not even talking about the loss of Youkilis, Bailey, and Dice-K. If all the troops were here and healthy, this team would certainly not be in the cellar of the American League East. They might not be the juggernaut that is the Baltimore Orioles—but then again, who is?
