I've just begun my fourth season in my "usual" league. Now that I'm playing close attention to games played, it's becoming clear where the issue lies. Players fatigue much too quickly.
Through 18 games, which includes three off days, the last off day being six days before the current day, my 28-yo CF, 31-yo 3B, and 34-yo CF are all fatigued. Averaging six games a week for the first 3 weeks, and already being fatigued on April 28 before the day-to-day grind really sets in, it's no wonder they are missing a minimum 10 starts a year. Even for the 34-yo, I think it's extreme with the number of off days he's had and the fact it's only April 28.
Looking around the rest of the league, there are also many other fatigued players already.
IMO fatigue definitely needs to be scaled back, and even better to have an individual player scale or rating implemented.
