Playing some positions will result in more injuries than others and duration of injuries maybe varying between 1 day to 35 days. See Steve's (admin) response to a previous thread on injuries http://brokenbat.org/forum/0/3/710 Injuries are influenced by the 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. 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. Hope this helps

I was just making a general statement/asking a question more as an inquiry to other "owners." But yes, it is just rotten luck. It's a pitcher that I don't pitch during spring training but he always manages to get a heavy injury after his first regular season game pitched.

He has only played in 6 games. Maybe he needs a little more playing time to get a hang of it. Sometimes it happens, just gotta deal with it

He is 20 and in A. Are his injuries bad luck or what? Here is the player:http://brokenbat.org/player/76897 Updated Wednesday, December 18 2013 @ 2:59:55 pm PST
