Maybe someone can help me out with this, I have this guy in AAA playing RF:

www.whatifsports.com/HBD/Pages/Popups/PlayerProfile.aspx

Has dur of 91.  We are not quite to the AS break yet and for about the last 15 wis "days" he has had his % drop to 99 every other game.  Now I have guys all over my AAA roster with Dur in the 70-80's that have not dropped at all.  Any ideas why he would with that solid of a durability rating?

This guy seems to be playing every inning of every game.  Are the other guys getting the same amount of playing time?

not sure tec, im gonna go check

 

EDIT:  ok checked, I had no settings for player rest or D sub, which in theory should effect everyone else the same, but im going to go ahead and set those and see if it helps

If I understand it correctly, the amount one tires is pretty much a correlation b/w at bats, position played, and durability.  I've kind of got a conservative number (at least for major leaguers) of 6.5xdurabilty to get the number of at bats expected at full rest in a season.  He's 85 games into the year, I'll assume he's played all of them, so that's 85 games since the season started.  (85/162)(6.5)(91) = 300 at bats, meaning that I'd expect him to be near the tiring point if he had crossed 300 at bats at this point in the season.  bighead mentions the 72 spring training at bats, which is a ton of spring training at bats, meaning he was going into the season a little "tired" (though still at 100%), plus being a minor leaguer he didn't have the benifit of the "off days" that a major leaguer sees b/w the end of ST and the start of the real season.  You're guy has 315 at bats at this point, plus all the spring training at bats and its not too suprising that he's starting to get worn down.

My formula's a little crude orrdc, but I've got a team w/ a ton of guys w/ low to mid 70s durability, so I move guys around a lot each game and its worked to keep everyone fresh to date (we're closing in on the all star break as well).  I'd bet if you sat him for a few days prior to the all star break, and a few days after, then used defensive replacements and/or "rest" replacements he should be fine the 2nd half of the season.

Yep, I bet the 72 AB's in ST did the trick, thanks guys!
