Exact thing happened to me recently. One of my older starters got hurt, didn't meet his vesting criteria, and became a free agent. He wanted a ton of money on the FA market, but his demands dropped way down once preseason started. I was able to sign him on the cheap. He only missed the first month of the season. If I knew the AI never signed injured players, I would have held out even longer!

People are overlooked for a variety of biased reasons and perceived flaws. Age, appearance, personality. Bill James and mathematics cut straight through that. Billy, of the 20,000 notable players for us to consider, I believe that there is a championship team of twenty-five people that we can afford, because everyone else in baseball undervalues them."
