After a brutal two game series that saw two more position players lost to injury, the lineup looks something like this (click for larger):
And that doesn't include injuries to, at various times, starters John Maine (out for season), Fernando Nieve (out for season), Jon Niese (out for season), Oliver Perez (sadly, not out for season), and reliever J.J.

It's always tough to tell fans of a team with the second-largest payroll in baseball that we have to look to next year, but, uh, we have to look to next year when some of these guys are hopefully healthy.
