Thirteen D-backs missed a total of 735 games due to time spent on the disabled
list this season. The number is actually higher if you include the
retroactive date used once the players were put on the DL. Teams are only
allowed to use a retroactive date if a player has not played since the
retroactive date.

Players still disabled at season's end:
Brandon
Webb (right shoulder cleanup surgery in August 2009) is not scheduled to begin throwing until November. He will not have thrown off a mound by the time the D-backs must pick up his $8.5 million option, five days after the World Series ends.
Conor Jackson (valley fever) worked out in the D-Backs' Instructional League
facility in September and is scheduled to play winter ball.
Chris Snyder (microdiscectomy) is expected to be 100 percent when spring training begins after undergoing the same surgery LHP Randy Johnson has had three times.
Chad Qualls (left knee surgery in September 2009) is expected to be ready for spring training.
Minor league right-hander Jarrod Parker (right elbow soreness) was throwing in the Arizona
Instructional League program after being shut down the final month of the Class
AA Mobile season. He could be a candidate for the 2010 rotation if healthy, but
could also undergo surgery if he continues to feel abnormal soreness.
