It depends on the injury. A groin injury to a pitcher isn't going to make him a better pitcher. Much like a hamstring/knee injury to a catcher. No one cares that their 33 speed catcher can become a 36 speed thru recovery cycles.

I'm always torn with short term leg injuries for middle infielders and CF. It'd be nice to jack up their range but I don't want to keep such an important position out for so long.

I usually salivate when my pitchers go down. I can usually replace them and the gains are usually pretty awesome.

And this only works with medical of 20? I currently have mine at 16, will it not work the same here?

More is better.

Real life has nothing to do with HBD recovery cycles.

And I doubt no one, literally no one, will read all of that. This is a goddam simgame not a cure for cancer.

I read it. Twice. I also copied it on to a post-it note to put on my mirror for daily inspiration. Before reading it I had a cold, and now I feel great and lost 8 pounds.

Not even 18 works that well. Make it $20.

I've only got $12M in medical...
But I have this prospect in AAA who just went down with a minor arm injury (strained shoulder). I put him on the 7-day DL. Should I transfer him to the 60-day and see what $12M in medical does for him?

The real question is "Why shouldn't you?"

...because my bullpen sucks and he's my only minor league pitcher who might be able to help my BL club. He's only out for 12 days. I switched him over to the 60-day (thinking I could switch him back after he gets an injury recovery boost or 2... looks like that's not the case).

also, the question would be whether he would get more improvement from the injury recovery boost or from playing time.

also, you all keep saying it's pretty much $18M+ medical is necessary...

He's a 3rd year pro. Not sure how much natural development he has left. But, yeah, if your pitching sucks and he'd help, 60 day might not have been the right call. But I always put my minor leaguers on the 60.

Sucks may have been an exaggeration, but my bullpen has underperformed besides my best reliever. It's pretty early in the season, so he should still be back to help me down the stretch if I still need it.

Pretty good example. 3rd year pro, short-term injury(groin) and needed a range boost to get where I like my CF.

Price just got a "regular season" line instead of a injury recovery. I guess there's no point in keeping on the dl anymore right?

Nope.
