RICHIE SEXSON INJURED
RICHIE SEXSON played every inning last season for the Milwaukee Brewers. Although first base isn't necessarily a high-intensity position like catcher, it still is an amazing feat.

Last night against the Cubs, Sexson fell to one knee and grabbed his shoulder in obvious pain after he checked his swing with one out in the eighth inning.

The team doctor said that it's preferable that Sexson's own muscles caused the injury as opposed to a shoulder being injured in a collision. I found that interesting because I've never heard that before.

Sexson's injury might be serious enough to land him on the 15-day DL. This may throw a wrench into my "Richie Sexson will hit 50 homeruns" claim from the beginning of the season.

Arizona, who I still feel will finish 3rd or 4th in the NL West, will really be hurting without Sexson. He is the middle of their lineup and plays solid defense at firstbase. The DBacks will probably move SHEA HILLENBRAND to first, which should open up more playing time for CHAD TRACY, who I think will be a really good player once he gets an opportunity.
