Do you guys play Franchises with previously injured players

[rpagz3]

For instance:

I'm going to be starting a Franchise with the New York Mets. Johan Santana is injured in real life for the whole season. But would you guys use Santana? or would you just DL him for the entire year.

That's my dilemma, I always want to be as realistic as possible and had DL'ed him in my past franchise. But it got me thinking that this will most likely be Santana's last season in a Mets uniform ever so why not use him in the Show one last go around.

So what do you guys do?

other examples: Jason Motte, Halladay, Teixeira, Hart.. just to name a few.

I usually start fresh with no injuries. It is just better if you want to play with everything based off what happens under your management. The only time I usually implement an injury, is if that player had Tommy John surgery, or any other major surgery late in the past year, that would've spilled into this year, i.e. Brian Wilson.

I started the season with accurate injuries, and then I simmed 2013 so I can start playing with a fresh 2014. That way I don't have to worry about some things being realistic or not, really cut down on a lot of the stress of the collaboration between my franchise and what goes on in real life. Plus it helped me get to my prospects one year quicker, much more fun this way IMHO.

I don't but I do a little bit on my own team. Carpenter, for instance, I just have in AAA currently because I would feel bad using him. Furcal, though, I have no problem using.
