Texsox Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Let's assume a 120 game or shorter season. It could help teams with older players who might avoid a stint on the injured list. But it could also help younger teams whose players could be ready quicker. Being short a starter would be more of a problem without some off days.

Hurts younger teams more due to the long term development lost imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was more focused on this year and the team's opportunity. But it's basically 2020 only it's the owners who should be wearing masks.

caulfield12 Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 (edited) Terrible for Crochet and Kopech. Should help Grandal and Keuchel, as well as Hendriks. Also protects Abreu from typical aches and pains. Eloy, due to less opportunities to get injured....

For Crochet and Kopech, they will both be on innings limits aynway so in a way, a short season helps, depending on how short we are talking here though.

Yes -- everyone has fretted all offseason about how we are going to get Kopech through a full season on an innings limit. Well, that may be solved for us.

But, one minor muscle injury and that means that group is covering a starter role for maybe half the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players will get less spring training which could result in more injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
