Alou is indeed part of the starting 8, irrespective of whether he plays 162 games. And he wasn't "hurt" in an athletic sense--he had a hernia, a non-sports related injury. Will he go the rest of the season without injury? Impossible to say. He's obviously more prone to injury than a younger player. If he's rested occasionally, I think it's quite possible he'll make it.

Jeez, you guys aren't "glass half empty" guys, you're "the glass will shatter and slice my mouth, and the liquid is probably poison anyway, and who put the glass near me and why?" kind of guys. Amazing. We’re a half game out of first with the fifth best record in the league, and we’ve had our starting 8 on the field together for ONE game so far.

The exact reason why Alou is going to make a world difference. would you pitch to him with a 5 pitch max strikeout/pop-out/grounder out to second waiting on deck?
