About the Mo Vaughn thing – the last time he was put on the DL, it was said ON THAT DAY that he would never play again. He waited another season and a half to retire because he was under contract, and he would continue to get paid until either he retired or his contract expired, whichever happened first. He never did another minute of rehab.

At that time we were told that insurance covered 80% of contracts for 'lost' players. I don't know whether that was universal, or could vary case by case. I also don't know whether it covers only injuries generally assumed to be career ending, or if they kick in anytime someone goes on the DL (or the 60 day DL). I'd appreciate it if someone who knows would report on this.
