I had him at 90 most of last year (coming off an injury), and I think 95 this year, though I bumped him to 100 and now he's got a hammy problem.Ted wrote:
*Yellow Springs - Jose Chavez, with 4 stam and a history of injury, I'd guess Ron had him 110 or less.
I have LaLoosh at 100-105, depending. I think I had him on 110 a week ago because I figured I needed a game to save the bullpen. Now that we're using a 4-man for a couple weeks, anyone who is going to throw on 4-days rest are getting set at 90 or so--Sanchez, with his injury problems, got an 80-pitch count on four-days rest. There's no guarantee of avoiding injury, but yes, PAP says that days rest does not really matter so much as pitched thrown while tired (I keep thinking the smart team will go back to a 4-man rotation now that pitch counts are routine).
I tend to think of Stamina and Repertoire defining how effective a guy can be over innings and ties through the order (same thing, kind of...but not quite), Pitch count and injury proneness combine to make up probability of injury. Once a guy gets a big injury, I think it's a big deal to future proneness. I think Stamina also affects recovery, but I admit I'm not sure about that.
