Of course now I will likely get 6 guys injured tomorrow since I curse the team with this posting

When the first pitch happens tomorrow, only 2 of the original 9 NP will have played in all 22 games. But all will have at least played in 16 games.

I know some of you are probably already doing this, but set multiple lineups, and rotate your big leaguers out with your minor league squad. I think I only start my major league guys in 50% or less of the spring games.

Playing developed players in spring is (injury) risk with no reward. With all my P injuries yesterday I was signing cannon fodder to eat innings rather than let my core guys take the mound.

Rock777 Joined: 09/21/2014 Posts: 9600 Haverhill Halflings III.1	I start my developing players only; never the best guys. For the first week, I put in guys from the majors who need innings. Starting on the last Friday of Spring Training I pull out anyone who is remotely useful in the majors and put in all minor leaguers. That gives a 10 day window with no fear of injuries. Occasionally I'll lose a SP for 30 days in that first week, But the developing guys usually aren't critical players, so I accept it as a calculated risk. Given I have to build my team primarily from FA, I tend to have a lot of late bloomers so the Spring Training innings are impactful.
