No double jeopardy

Posted By Jon

There is no double jeopardy. Read below for an explaination:

If you look back on 7/13/99, this double jeopardy question was answered by Bravard:

"Injured player usage

Posted By M. Bravard

An injured player/pitcher who has over 15 games outstanding in his injury number is treated like all players before game 32. In other words, he can be worn-out but not overused. The reason is: He is suseptible to injury and it would be double jeopardy if he also had to live by the same usage rules as healthy players live by. Example: If you had a player who was injured 95 games and could get overused like any other player, it would be difficult if not impossible to get his full allotment of PA or IP before the injury hit and ended his season.

So, go ahead and overuse those players that haven't had their injuries yet and get the most usage out of them while you can.
