Considering the lineup they've been having to play with, they've been doing amazingly well. Their team batting avg is actually UP since Kemp got sidelined and their runs per game has remained steady. Unfortunately the starting pitching has gone a little shaky. Ted Lilly hitting the DL hurt. If that settles back down they are still in great shape - despite some pretty disruptive injuries.
The upside to all of the injuries is the consistent playing time a lot of their reserves and minor league call-ups are getting. Come playoffs and roster expansion I think having this many players who have shown on-field success and confidence will be a bonus.
