injuries should be weighted. someone with over 500 at bats and 150 games played should have a max of lets say 10 game injury. IT SHOULD BE WIEGHTED. If you hav e 500 at bats (or 550 PA's), max of 10 600 PA's max of 3 or 5.

this should be one of the easier statistical issues. i could see having a problem coding the relief/bullpen choices, but this shouldnt this too difficult.

Bill Mueller just got a 15 game injury early in the season and is already assured of not playing the same # of games as last year

we need to review...WEIGHTING on max # of games injured.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sure you'll also have players who will get more at bats and innings pitched than they did during their 2005 season as well. It's frustrating for sure when you lose a key player for the dreaded 15 gamer, but unless they decide to code the game where AB's and IP are within 5% of their normal stats, its something we've all learned to accept.

I agree with Jerlins. We have no problem of having players that only had 100 real ABs bat 500 times and hit .300 for us. We also should not complain that a player that played in 160 games only plays in 145-150 or so.

Besides the FACT that the injuries, and the way they are handled, are rules set forth by SOM, it is not TSN's rule.

It's part of the game, you take that risk, and player who have only a 3 game max injury are priced higher for the fact that they will play in more games.
