The other 7? 64, 81, 92, 84, 57, 72, 46. He's a free agent, and his injury history is still "durable".
And then there's my ace, who's made 8 straight seasons with 30+ starts and never been placed on the DL. And his injury history is "Wrecked". What gives?

The game is like that sometimes. I wish I had such luck with "wrecked" players. I had a player come to me after his 3rd season, either durable or normal. He won 2 consecutive MVP even though he missed 22 and 25 games each year. He had a full season the next year but got injured in the playoffs. The next year he missed 5 weeks but would have been MVP if he had played all year. I traded him after his next year (39 games) and he played 7 injury filled seasons starting as fragile and now wrecked. He is a FA now and will get signed. 
I hated it but it seems annoyingly realistic.
