I would prefer not to see the "fragile" label as it is unnerving, but I wouldn't reject or dump a player just because of it.
Thanks for the sanity check. It is definitely unnerving to see it. There was a batch of posts here about six months ago about it, and my takeaway was as you say, it's a tenuous label.

I basically decided to stay the course for now, although I did trade one of the middle relievers for a player with a Normal injury history. I've got some salary room so I can bring in someone else if I need to.
