Has there been any feedback from the players on how the new turf at Rogers Centre is affecting them health-wise compared to previous incarnations?

It's still a little early to make any final determinations on the turf, but the early reports have been encouraging. The original hope was that a softer surface would create less wear and tear on the players, and there are quite a few guys who believe that to be the case so far.
Toronto's recent road trip to Tropicana Field provided a good comparison, and there was a very noticeable difference between the two artificial surfaces.
