Has anyone ever seen a 15-game injury to a pitcher before?

Yes, I had Ted Lilly go down for 15 games in one of my leagues. That really sucks. :x Pitchers are not limited in the number of games they can be injured for like hitters are who are based on plate appearances.

Pitchers with less than 200 IP can be injured for up to 15 games.

This is probably the stupidest part of the SOM sim. Instead of a generic injury roll, pitchers should have injuries on their cards based on how often and how long they were injured during the season, just as hitters do.

I had heard that it didn't matter how many innings a pitcher had pitched to determine the games injured for. Lilly is a *SP even though he only pitched 197 innings.
