That's the one. I half-remembered it, which is about par for the course. Or actually only remembered it a third since apparently he didn't do Perry Mason. The Streets of San Francisco, Cannon, and Barnaby Jones were probably the ones I remember them intoning "A Quinn Martin Production" after. I think Cannon's the only one I really liked, though Barnaby Jones was OK. Maybe Streets came on before something I liked so I always caught the end credits.
QM Productions produced a string of successful television series during the 1960s and 1970s, including The Fugitive, Twelve O'Clock High, The F.B.I., The Invaders, The Streets of San Francisco, Cannon, and Barnaby Jones. Besides producing sixteen one-hour network series, he also produced twenty TV movies, including Attack on Terror, Brinks: The Great Robbery, Face of Fear, House on Greenapple Road, and Murder of Mercy. His only venture into the world of cinema was The Mephisto Waltz, released by Twentieth Century-Fox.

Naylor? I barely knew her.
When it comes to injuries, good is boring. There's nothing quieter than an empty training room, but that means those Trainers sitting in there looking bored have done their jobs and done them well. It's unlikely that Scott Sheridan and his staff are actually sitting around, reading the latest copy of the Journal of Athletic Training or Sports Illustrated, but they've put themselves in a situation where it's possible.
This is as low a risk rating for a team as I think is possible, built by a GM that understands injury risk, listening and trusting the judgement of his staff. It's built on the long career and research of Sheridan's predecessor, Jeff Cooper, who still consults with the team.
While the team itself might not be as forward thinking or research oriented as some others, they've got a roster where the medical staff can focus on the right things -- prevention, prehab -- and have plenty of time to deal with the inevitable traumatic injuries that will come along without the likelihood that they'll be overwhelmed. Indeed, there's a small chance that the Phillies (and a couple other teams) have become a bit risk averse.
The risk/reward ratio is always speculative and it's hard to say that the Phillies didn't do everything they needed to do this offseason, but they could think about acquiring some risk if they needed. If they needed some extra offense, they are the kind of team that could make a deal for a Carlos Beltran or a similar player with talent and injury problems.
