I wouldn't call it a "crazy" amount of injuries, I'd say you are experiencing what the average MLB manager needs to deal with each year
If you want to try to reduce the number of injuries to your SP you could:
- only use starting pitchers with normal or better injury ratings, maybe even durable or better.
- have a team doctor that is great with preventing injuries to pitchers.
- Maybe use strict pitch counts
- Maybe a 6 man rotation would help because pitcher would throw fewer innings.

Huh thanks - Those numbers are a little bit higher than what I thought they'd be, so closer to what's happening to me than I thought. Just frustrating the way it happens I guess, guy goes out for 2 weeks, once he's healthy again, someone else gets tendinitis. I think I can try and use those suggestions to get it down to those numbers. Thanks!
