I'd also like to see something like the reverse, albeit in rare conditions:

Player gets a season-ending injury in Spring Training or whatever. Couple months later, maybe an email about how he's doing well in rehab, expects to be back almost as good as new next year. Then suddenly an email from the trainers, in awe of how he's bouncing back and healing. Now it's late September and, yeah, he's probably taken a little hit on the ratings, but he's bounced back 4 months early from a torn whatever.

Something like Adrian Peterson. Having a hard time coming up with a baseball example.

Then maybe oops, yeah, he really shouldn't have come back so quickly, and a reinjury now means he's gone for most of next season too. Guess you'd have to trust your trainer and your player's intelligence. Maybe an example of where a hard core work ethic could work against you?
