Probably has a lot to do with his busted shoulder, no?

Probably the bad shoulder, but Goodwin's 2013 was not spectacular. No reason to assume then or now that Goodwin should replace Denard Span.

Yes, Roy Sievers had a separated shoulder in 1951 and dislocated his arm in 1952. However, Sievers could hit. (See: http://www.baseballtoddsdugout.com/roysievers.html). Sports medicine does not seem to have advanced much in treatment of a separated shoulder since 1952: mostly rest and keep the arm in a sling.
