You forgot about Moises Alou and Mark Prior. Prior most likely to start season on DL.

Thanks for the update seefer!

Yes just read that Prior may start the season on the DL, Juan Pierre owners can breath a sigh of relief hand specialist says no significant damage to his hand, and he can resume baseball activities when the swelling subsides about 5-6 days, he should be ready for opening day

Geesh, now add Jason Schmidt to the list. Looks like he'll miss at least 2 starts. Oh and Rob Nen had another troubling setback with soreness in his medically repaired throwing shoulder. Not good.
