Great post. It’s definitely a start to try to figure out how much injuries really are hurting (hurting the team, that is, not the ailing player with the injury).
i wonder if Maeda is counted in here? He would be valuable to have, but then, we weren’t really counting on him at all this season. So on first reaction I would call Maeda’s injury as not hurting the team this season.
I also wonder if this can be broken down by WAR?
Seems like a lot of teams are still dealing with the injury bug. Last year was historic for injuries, if you remember. But this year I know the Dodgers and Mets have been without Kershaw and Buehler, and DeGrom and Scherzer, for stretches. The Twins don’t have equivalents for those guys.
thanks!
