Matt (Chicago): Will -- has anyone conducted a study of whether there is a greater chance of injuries to players when baseball teams go a long period of time without an off day? From a purely anectdotal standpoint, the Cardinals and Cubs each had some injury setbacks in the midst of 20 consecutive games (although the Cards had a rainout in D.C. that broke up the consecutive games stretch).
Will Carroll: I've never seen it. It's theoretically possible to do, but with the five years I have in my database, I don't think you could get a meaningful answer.

TheFont9 (Boston): Joe, has there been any word on Troy Glaus?
Will Carroll: He's working out with his own trainer in Arizona, so there's just no way to get info on it.

Nick (NYC): Will - you are the choosen mediator by a long shot so please help! Who blinks first - Rasmus for Reyes (NYM)? Realize it would never happen - thanks for your help.
Will Carroll: What am I mediating? The Mets wouldn't consider this one. I'd think the Cardinals would have to, given their OF depth and that Khalil Greene isn't exactly lighting things up. There's about ten players, max, that I would even consider dealing Reyes for, straight up.
