Pitching Injuries

The Miami Herald notes the difference in the Marlins pitching staff between this season and last. It's the injuries.

Johnson said the discomfort is located in the ''same spot'' that caused him problems last season after a Sept. 12 start against the Mets in which he came back in to pitch after sitting out an 82-minute rain delay.

He did not pitch again in 2006 and spent the first 2 ½ months of this season on the DL after arm problems developed in spring training.

In looking at the innings pitched last year by the starters, I don't see anyone that was horribly abused. But I that doesn't show in game usage. I wonder if the handling of the pitching staff was the source of friction between the front office and Girardi in 2006?
