#1 - If you lose 30 games a year from them, they typically are NOT priced 20% lower than their 3 game counter parts, so it's a net sum loss.
#2 - If you lose them for the playoffs (as mentioned), odds are your season is over.
Yup.
And the corollary or extension of this is Hack's post, which generally I would say is it is not likely you will have two 15 gamers, or lose 30 games, so is typically worth the risk.
Always? no. But the price of limiting injuries is high. I get it it. I have a tough time shelling out $ on my highest paid guy, or like a leadoff dude if he is a 15 gamer.
In fact, I'd wager that teams with all green injury guys against teams with all black injury guys will get beaten every season. Maybe that's a theme league. The risque and the risknay.
