End of Season Question

TLB1975 · 07-16-2010, 05:20 PM

It's the end of August and I've already wrapped up the division and home field advantage (not technically, but practically). How would you manage the last month? What playing time schedule would you use for your stars, regulars, etc..? Do you have a strategy that you use to prevent guys from getting injured without building rust or breaking momentum? I've been in this situation many times before and I typically don't change much other than setting up my rotation for the playoffs and maybe limiting playing time for critical players in the last week? What do you do? Thanks

Yeah, I do about the same. I've been burned by injuries occasionally, but generally I'd rather take that risk than having guys get rusty or disgruntled from being benched. Plus, when I clinch that early, I've usually got at least one guy chasing a battling title, single-season record, or the like, and I want to give him a shot at getting it.
