I had a fine young 4.5 star potential starting pitcher. I brought him up to the bigs as a starter at 22 with 1.5 overall/4.5 potential. He was absolutely mowing down the competition with a 2.88 ERA. Just after the trading deadline, bam 11 month injury (normal proneness). The next July, he’s ready to be activated and I send him for a rehab assignment. 2nd start, bam 8 month injury. The next season he’s finally ready to go, but only has 1.5 star potential. I’m patient with him, but after a full season, that potential never rebounds.

It makes me wonder if he was destined to get wrecked, if I was just really unlucky, or if there was anything I could have done to prevent or manage his rehab for a better outcome.
