His team, the Alexandria Aces are in second place two weeks into June and losing Aaron is pretty much a death blow. They still have Joe DiMaggio, but Joe is still battling the one year recalc war years, so he's not really Joe. I guess it will be up to Jim Presley to keep the Aces in the race...Ugh!
I love injuries, but I hate them. In the end, I know the higher injury setting is right for me, because I simply don't enjoy looking at a leagues stats when every single player only missed the required fatigue games. Plus, for me, injuries ensure I will never grow bored with the game. This play through, Aaron may be a little injury prone, while the next one he may be an ironman. Keeps things fresh........at least that's what I keep telling myself  |
Injuries are how you make sure the maximum number of players who actually played in the major leagues get a chance to play in my/your dynasty, which is important. At least that's what I keep telling myself. Oscar Charleston started off extremely injury prone in mine, but it seems like he outgrew this tendency after about four seasons or so, and wound up winning the NL MVP in 1955.
