My bad, as I did not check the advanced settings at the beginning of the season. In the 3rd game of the season he was in for 105 pitches. His stamina numbers are red (6) and have been that way for six games. There was one point where he went down to (5) without even pitching. He has only thrown for 8 innings. My question is will he recover by mid season or sooner, or has he blown a tendon and I should head to the waiver wire for a replacement? I just saw Barry Latman whose stats look similar. I remember he used to be a stud but was weakened several changes ago. Oh, I am in a $255mil league.

He should be back.

He's probably got about 750 pitches allocated for the season. (50ip*15)

That works out to 4.6 pitches per game (750/162)

At that rate he *should* have thrown 105 pitches in 22.8 games. So by game 23, he should be at or close to 100%

you shouldn't be hurting for innings at that cap anyway. no reason to trade him off for an inferior pitcher.

Thank you gentlemen. I am relieved we didn't have to break up the family. It will be interesting to watch your timeline for healing Franco. I will send him to the training room for a few "weeks." You are right boogerlips, there are plenty of ip available so he will not be missed.

ps: I haven't seen or heard about Latman for a long time. How did he fall from stud to dud? I thought a player's relative effectiveness would stay the same but he would become overpriced and therefore used less.

He remembered that he was a journeyman pitcher in RL and started pitching like one.
