Will you still have an issue with it when the Yankees do this to Giambi in August?

There are a few tricks. One is with the DL. If your guy gets hurt, even if it's just a DTD injury, put him on the DL. 60-day, if possible. Leave him there. Sometimes they'll retire during the offseason, but if not, I'm sure a full year on the DL will do the trick.
