Again, I'm not looking at this as injury prevention. It's NOT an issue of injury frequency/severity. The issue I have is playing time. Health isn't just the player's ability to fight of injury, it also affects the number of days off he'll need in the season. If no injuries occur you can get more games out of a 90 health guy than a 70 health guy. But I'm gonna change up my angle on this.
Suggested Rules...
1. On draft day you can increase a position player's heath up to 5 points
2. $7.5M = 5 Health Points (or $1.5M = 1 Health Points)
3. Anyone with 67+ Health cannot be entered
4. Anyone who doesn't need the full 5 points, can have the number they need to get to 67 Health on a pro-rated cost (i.e. 3 Health Points would cost $4.5M)
The reason why I eliminated pitchers from the suggestion is because their playing time is mostly based off of their Endurance rating. No matter a starting pitcher's health rating as long as he's rested every five days (and assuming healthy) he'll reach the full season of 32 starts. I've found the same to be especially true with RPs. I remember in a league had Takashi Saito for 3 years. He started out with low 60s health and then each season after he regressed his health dropped into the 50s. Even with a poor health rating he still managed to appear in a full season of games for his role in the bullpen.
For position players playing time is related highly to their health rating. Average health (75) should get the player around 145 games in a season. Whereas real good health (90) should get the player a consistent 160+ games per season. Again, this is saying the player doesn't get injured.
