I don't use spring training as a feature and I'm not even calling it a "conspiracy" theory. I can totally be okay with the fact that it happens to me each year in September and take that for whatever it is.

But my way around it, is also simple. I use the 40-man call-up feature and because of it, I manage to replace the key players in my rotation for that entire month and put expendable rookies who I won't be keeping up in there.

It usually results in one of those random kids getting hurt either in the rotation or the bullpen or somewhere else, saving my stars and making sure that I don't have to deal with some major injury in games that mean nothing.

Maybe that's just smart, real-life team management, I'll take it.
