I think we knew this ...

but it is nice to see it documented. Head athletic trainer Herman Schneider and his staff are considered one of the best in the major leagues. This is from Rick Wilton's Baseball Injury Report:

"In an injury study I published in the Baseball Injury Report 2007 Annual (http://www.baseball-injury-report.com/BIRannual.shtml), the White Sox ranked first in fewest total DL days over the past five seasons. In fact, only three players landed on the DL with back ailments for the White Sox during that period. The odds are good the medical staff will keep his [Conteras'] back issues in check."

First in the fewest total DL days over the past five seasons ... There can be no doubt about the fact that Herm and his staff deserve some credit for the contributions they have made towards the success that the Pale Hose have enjoyed in the relatively recent past.

there's no question big herm does a great job

but we also have the right type of players. guys who are willing to do the work in the offseason and during the season. it's definitely a partnership.

5 years isn't good luck....

If it was 2 or 3, maybe, but 5 years is a good amount of time, and alot of players have been in this organization since 2002. Herm does a fantastic job.
