OAKLAND -- In only one way this season are the A's setting records.
Through 69 games, they have used the disabled list 16 times, the most in the big-leagues this year and the most through 11 weeks for any A's team since record-keeping began in the late 1970s.In the words of executive vice president Billy Beane, the A's are "living under the shadow of this injury epidemic.'' So far A's players have missed 633 games due to injury.Are the players on the Oakland roster particularly brittle? Is there something the medical staff should be doing that it's not?
