Message: [QUOTE="cohenzone, post: 3201532, member: 504"] Possibly. But with all the modern training programs and understanding of orthopedics, we are seeing a lot of players going on the IL for things that wouldn’t have not all that many years go. Of course, maybe playing through some of those injuries shortened some careers. The players are paid so much now that they are viewed as investments to be protected. I’m not saying don’t be concerned for the players’ health, but the average players in Mantle’s day played with some of the muscle related injuries that sideline a player today. Kind of counterintuitive. The more you are paid the more you are babied. [/QUOTE]
