| Two questions. How does player retirement work? My team is aging but none of my players has ever retired while on my team. Will players retire while they are still owned by a team? What decides whether a player will retire or not? Are player injures influenced by games played, number of AB's, innings pitched, pitches thrown, age? Basically, is a player more likely to get injured if they play more or if they are older? Thanks to anyone who knows the answers. |

| I think players do not retire,but they lose their skills when they age and I don't know what influences injuries. | ||

| Yes, after 35 yo, if a player is released, he will no longer be available as a free agent. So at that point, he is effectively retired. Steve |

| Injuries happen, they stink. I had my all star catcher go down during the playoffs. He is my best player and probably was the best player in the league. I also had my best pitcher and #1 starter get injured just prior to the playoffs. I had a great year bust lost in the finals. Injuries happen. | ||

Sorry...missed this question. Injuries are influence by amount of playing time and position played (i.e. DH less likely to get injured). Also, with pitchers, if you over-pitch them, their injury rate will climb. Steve |

| Injuries are influence by amount of playing time and position played (i.e. DH less likely to get injured). Also, with pitchers, if you over-pitch them, their injury rate will climb. This explains why last season some of my star players were regularly unavailable through injury during the second half of the season; I thought the injured player was selected randomly but clearly I got too dependent on my starting lineup.
Finally, please can the rule book be updated to make this clearer for new players |

| No, only over-pitching is a problem. Playing a non-pitcher everyday doesn't increase his injury rate. However, injuries exist so that clubs are built in a well balanced manner. You should expect your backups to play 10-20 games a year because of shot-term injuries to your starters. More if the starter has an extended injury. Steve |
