Resting players

[Guest JWClubbie]

Does a players chance for injury increase when he is fatigued?

How do some of you manage resting players?

I think so.

How do some of you manage resting players?

I try and give them a game off when they're at around 90 %. I'm also trying not to rest all my star players at once...

[medric822]

both more risk, and less active, hich means chances for hits/ great plays drops. I ususlly have several uility players play a gme for them on a long game playing streak, and/or take star pout and replace with a utility player for last 3-4 innings, so they dont complain about playing time. I only have one crappy guy on my team, and he's also leading the league with HR's

[krawhitham]

I wait till they are at 80%

[aaronuconn]

I wait 75% to 80%.

[medric822]

I wait til about 65-60%

[Viceman2004]

Sometimes if one of my stars is fatiqued, but I really need him in a series, I usually DH him. This, hopefully, minimizes chances for injury.

I wait till about 90-94%.

[fenway389]

Under 90%

[gcurrier2004]

I wait to 80%

[medric822]

yeah, I do the dh-ing thing too.

[wretched]

I wait until 50!

Do your players get injured often? Do you notice a difference in how they play? Thanks

Most of my starters do fine for until the next rest, (using yankees as example) i'm talking about athletic players like A-rod, Jeter. (DHing these players works well, no need to take them out of the line up) Its most important rest your catcher, who looses energy fastest, So always have a good backup catcher. Also older players and rookies need to be rested (cano, Sheffield).

Usually rest them when they'r at 80.

I let them play until they are about 70%. Then they get a nice day off!

[cybernetic]

when guys get below 90% I tend to give them a night off (or partial night and PH with them later on in the game)

I pretty much do the same thing.

[skte1ement]

I usually wait until they are in the 70s range, and depending on how important/who im playing make minor adjustments from there.

Question about resting. I normally rest my guys at about 85%. If for example, I rest Sexon for a game at 85% and then bring him into pitch hit in the 9th inning, when I start my next game what will his energy level be at 100% or 83%? When you go to pitch hit or swap a base runner it does not show there energy level like in High Heat.
