Cleveland Indians: The similar paths of Brantley and Salazar

The Cleveland Indians have two special players in Michael Brantley and Danny Salazar. The problem is that both are once again struggling to stay healthy.

The concept of being injury-prone is not one I necessarily agree with. Someone like Brantley can hurt his ankle on a fluke thing, or injure himself running into a wall. This is just bad luck as opposed to being predestined to being injured.

And when it comes to pitchers, all pitchers have likely dealt with arm injuries at one point or another in their careers. Those who haven’t either have perfect form and aren’t human, or they just deal with the pain for as long as possible.
