I experimented and changed the injury settings from "classic" to "high" in spring training and only 18 players in the league were put on the DL during spring training which is down from the previous year. So will give his a go and see if the amount of injuries level down some.

My owner is going super cheap and I am way over budget. I can't deal Fregosi because he is a 5-10 guy and has refused any trade talk. I think I will have to deal Wynn at the deadline unless I somehow am in the pennant chase. I dealt Messersmith for Jim Merritt who is cheaper and not injury-prone. I sent closer Tom Burgmeier for 1B Ron Fairly and I also dealt many of my AAA guys on the 40-man roster to save $$$. Here is my lineup going into 1973 once Wynn comes off the DL with a minor injury.

Bumbry
Fregosi
Rivers
Wynn
Fairly
Cash
Cal Emery (DH)
Rudy Meoli 3b 21 year old
Francisco Marquez C 23 year old

My bullpen is ranked in the top 5 and while my starting staff looks mediocre, they are all between 24-29 and can improve.

The best news is my prospect ranking has gone from 3rd to last up to 7th after drafting Eddie Murray this year. He ripped up spring training, hitting .462, but I am staring him at A ball, he is only 17 and I have a 4 1/2 star prospect in AA who was my 1st rounder last year and a 3 1/2 in AAA. I am moving my AA prospect to LF to see if I can get him up to an average fielder by the time he gets to majors.

I am predicted to go 67-95 scoring 60 runs less than any other team. Sooooo...that's not promising.
