I know he's a "5" injury but...

Can't say I've seen anything like the season Brandon Lowe is suffering through in this league: https://365.strat-o-matic.com/team/1556335

69 games in, he's gone down 3 separate times for 30 GAMES EACH!! That's Game 4, Game 38, and then his first game back Game 69. And don't ask me why I went for a high injury team in a super advanced injury league. Thank goodness Lowe crossed 300 PAs, or those would have been 60 gamers. And hey, at least he's seen the ball well in his 25 plate appearances through what will be 100 games.

Anyone else seen anything like this?

Not that bad. I just had a 3 go down in the first 39 games two separate times for 15 games each. I cut him on based on general principles...
Sometimes you get away with high-injury players...sometimes you dont. I generally avoid 5 and 6 players, though I recently was desperate for a decent-hitting SS and went with a 5. I think a 5 in a normal league is supposed to miss about 45 games.

Not quite the same as missing 90 out of 99 due to 3 separate injuries, eh?

No. But I think the whole concept of super-advanced injuries is a headache, not doable unless you have like a minor league where you could call up players. I would not play Strat if they made that the default.

I played with super-advanced injuries once. Never again. I like that it added pitching injuries into the mix, but the whole thing was just way too many injured days to handle.
