What we're missing here is data. All we have is ideas about how various folks think rest and rust and fatigue should work based on vague ideas and ancedotes and stories. It seems reasonable that many or most players should have lingering effects from injuries. But is it true? Can we quanitfy that? How do you model the effects of hundreds of different injury types and millions of combinations of injuries+individuals?
Data drives modeling, and OOTP is a baseball model. Without good information we're just guessing, and we'll probably guess wrong, and that will probably drive results to be unrealistic in unforseen ways.
