Dodgers' GM creates stir with comments about injured players

Los Angeles Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti attempted to clarify his
remarks about some of his injured players, but it was too late to completely
quell the controversy.
Speaking to KABC 790 radio in Los Angeles, Colletti seemed to question the
severity of some players' injuries.
"Sometimes you wonder what the thought process is too. The disabled list used
to be some place a player never wanted to go. And now it might be a safe
haven, it might be a couple of weeks' vacation," Colletti said.
Asked about those comments prior to Tuesday's game, Colletti told the Los
Angeles Times that he wasn't implying that the players weren't trying to get
healthy.
"The couple weeks' vacation, that was probably said in jest," Colletti said.
The newspaper notes that the Dodgers currently have six players on the
disabled list, including shortstop Rafael Furcal (oblique) and relievers
Jonathan Broxton (elbow) and Hong-Chih Kuo (anxiety).
道奇GM科科提在Radio的Talkshow中談到道奇傷兵問題時說出了如此之評論
「以前DL是球員最不想進的地方，但現在可能是個安全的避風港，
進了之後就能放好幾週的假。」
不過事後科科提僅表示這只是說笑的，但似乎難以平息他這則評論的爭議性
