I call it double jeopardy meaning the injury factor is already well FACTORED in to the player. if he got injured and only has 500 PA there you go just a question of the manager being able to pick and choose when he doesnt play compared to randomly lossing him.
Some like the random events to happen but in this case I do not agree as its UNFAIR....meaning if a player only has 500 PA your have to rest him a bit during the season and if his injury takes place late in the season he might be out for good thus why I call it double Jeopardy....could miss twice as many games as he did in real life. So its the luck of the draw, some teams get lucky and have the injury take place early on thus can use that player rest of the year but if it takes place late in the season double Jeopardy for that team.
