Hey hey, my my
Not sure I understand why

A guy can't get re-injured on a rehab assignment as easily as he can if you just plop him back into the lineup. He's playing baseball. Is it an effort thing? (I ain't diving for that in the minors.) I guess I can see it with starting pitchers because they don't go deep, but on the other hand I've had guys' arms 'splode early in spring training when I have them on 50-pitch limits.

In my experience the effect of rust on performance is unpredictable, as I suppose it should be.
