As far as problems go for the Royals organization, where do you think this ranks?

This is the Royals major injury report data from 2002 to 2009, or the last 8 seasons. Where does this rank on the list of problems for the Royals?

"Josh Hermsmeyer at RotoBlog.com just released a data set of all injuries from 2002 to 2009. I decided to go ahead and jump on the opportunity and look at the Royal teams and the top 30 players that cost the organization the most money for time on the DL.

Here is the list of which teams ranked from year to year:

Rank Year Salary Lost Total Day on DL Trips to DL Total Payroll % of Total Payroll

1 2007 $19,211,214 1644 19 $67,116,500 29%

8 2005 $4,550,350 481 5 $36,881,000 12%
