That is crazy. Sometimes I wonder if the injury system could be tweaked so a player couldn't go over a certain total based on his actual playing time. OR, if a player is out, you could "bring up a player" without penalty (as a mlb team would do) for the duration of the injury.
Well, we have some movement well ahead of the cap jump at 80 games make some moves. I can see why Big A felt like he had to do something. The Central is struggling so who knows if a hot streak can get you back into that race.
