I have been on 15 and have seen 3 injuries through the first month or so. (1) I lost a reliever, Sergio Escalona, for about a week (forgot what the injury was) in ST (2) Jose Altuve missed a couple of weeks with back issues (sprained back?) after getting beaned. (3) Hector Ambriz, a reliever of mine, tore a quad recently (randomly while pitching...no contact) and he's out for 4 months. So, in short, I feel like 15 (possibly up to 20) gives good results. You want a lefty/righty hitter? Here are some ideas that are realistically obtainable for that package. Note, you aren't gonna get an 80 contact / 80 power stud for Lind + filler: Jason Kubel (bats L, D'Backs) Alfonso Soriano (bats R, Cubs) Tyler Colvin (bats L, Rockies) Carlos Pena (bats L, Astros) Ryan Doumit (bats both, Twins) Lucas Duda (bats L, Mets) Brennan Boesch (bats L, Yankees) Seth Smith (bats L, A's) Brandon Moss (bats L, A's) Gabby Sanchez (bats R, Pirates) Kyle Blanks (bats R, Padres) Jesus Guzman (bats R, Padres) Andres Torres (bats both, Giants) Raul Ibanez (bats L, M's) If you want better, then you'll need to offer more or leave the realism behind a bit. Hope it helps.

Yea I went with Vmart...he wasnt playing everyday w/ Detroit and is 2 years 20 mil. I gave Lind and a nice AAA prospect SP and AA CL prospect both 4 stars. Vmart has stepped in and been great for me!

As soon as I posted this I lost Encarnacion for 20 days with a ruptured ankle ligament. He was on 1st, Vmart hit a double and EE ran to 3rd and was all of a sudden hurt. 1st DL stint of the season and im 13 games to the end lol. Ill continue to play w/ 70 and see how it shapes up.

NOW ANOTHER ISSUE. 13 games to go, Josh Johnson leads MLB in ERA, WHIP, K's and is 2nd in Innings Pitched. The weird part is he is no where in the AL Cy Young voting...like 10 players are listed and no Johnson...he leads every dam category for SP lmao, and again only 13 games left.

Maybe you can get Adam Lind back to sub at 1B, lol.

[BlueJays09]

Na lol Ill just use Vmart at 1st...and that gives me a chance to use some younger bats at DH....Tried David Cooper he went 2/6 with an RBI (2 games), now im going to try Moises Sierra. Also using Raja Davis hes been solid contact

[BlueJays09]

GUYS important question: Is that glitch that dont allow you to bring up players on rehab stint still in 2k13? I currently just got Encarnacion back from injury but hes on a 5 game rehab stint. My AAA team only has 2 games left before their season over, and they wont be making the playoffs....IF GLITCH STILL IN GAME how can I get EE back to my team? hes 2nd in HR and RBI on my team and I will need him for playoffs!

Thanks

For the question of EE, I play every game so I haven't gotten nearly to the playoffs but I think once the minors season is over you should be able to get him back you just need to call him up!

Nope minor league season is over and I cant call EE up because it says he hasn't completed his rehab stint. This was the worst thing about 2k12 and I see its not fixed. Now I have to go without a great bat in the playoffs. This sucks . If anyone knows a way around it please help
