Well, this is interesting...
Rany Jazayerli, well known former BP writer and Royals blogger, wrote a scathing indictment of the Royals medical staff in the aftermath of season-ending injuries to Mike Aviles and Coco Crisp that, it appears, weren't initially properly diagnosed. He brings up the Royals' poor history of dealing with injuries, and notes that Nick Swartz has been the Royals' trainer for the last 19 years, suggesting that there should be some accountability for such a long line of problems.
As a result of all this, he says he has been blacklisted by the Royals.
