Except managers are the ones who make the lineups, so you can't blame the players for that. Also Machado played 162 last year. It's also dumb to say that this is a trend with Major Leaguers, how many are there? Over 4 or 5 hundred? And how many have been arrested in the past year for domestic violence? 3? Maybe 4 or 5 if I'm forgetting some? That's a small sample size to say it's common

Managers make the lineups but if the players want to play enough they could state their case. How often do you hear about players complaining that they wanted to play but were held out of the lineup?

How does Olivera assaulting a woman a reflection on players not playing all 162?

That wasn't in regard to Olivera, just another response where the person was complaining how many of their players were on the DL.

That was me.  It wasn't so much complaining as it was just stating.  I get that everyone has issues with their teams and other players were hurt.  It's been a rough start to the season for me so far, that's all

It's been rough, thats for sure. Some of my teams have 6-10 players DL elegible already!
