Tired players

Pietro Dulce · 12-05-2003, 12:41 AM

I tried a search on this but didn't really find anything relating to my problem.

On June 29th of my 28 team solo league, 29 position players on rosters are tired. All but 5 of them are 1B or 3B.

Of the roughly 50 position players that are free agents, 4 are tired, 2 1B, 2 3B. One of them hadn't played a game since April 16th.

The reason I even started looking at this was that one of those tired players is my starting 1B who has been tired nearly all season. He did play every game up to a point, but his hitting suffered (badly suffered) and I sat him a few games after the AS break.

Age cannot truly be a factor here as my 1B is only 24 years old, and the other players all range in age from 24-37.

I would chalk a lot of this up to too much playing time if it weren't for the 4 free agents that haven't played for at least a month or more. I can't see those players all that tired.

Is there a problem somewhere in the 5.14b patch that causes some fatigue issues with the corner infielders?

Although I've seen various people post about this, I haven't been able to duplicate it in any of my leagues (and I have 4 active leagues running). There has to be some combination of variables that causes it - but we haven't been able to tie them down.

I wonder if tired players who get released keep their "tired" status for some reason since they aren't on a roster. Maybe only players on teams are rested up by the game engine.

That's wierd. The most durable player on my team is my 1B, Mike Sweeney. Come to think of it, my 3B doesn't get tired very often either. Catchers are the worst for me. I really don't think age has anything to do with it, but I *do* think that each player has his own individual 'fatigue' rating which determines how often he gets tired. Just what it seems like to me.

I recall seeing fatigued players released that stayed fatigued until they were signed again, but I can't honestly say I paid that much attenetion.

My suggestion for your 1b problem is get someone who can fill in occasionally.

For some reason, both Cal Ripken Jr and Lou Gehrig in my leagues even need rests. Maybe there should be a fatigue rating that can be seen?

Catchers are specifically designed to tired more. This is by design. The issue I'm refering to is when players get tired and cannot seem to return to "rested". I haven't seen this in my leagues.
