Lance has proposed a pretty decent idea we need to consider/talk about.
For suspensions, instead of it being an automatic ten day suspension, we subtract one (or more depending on how must rest wasn't correctly used) from the injury rating and roll for an injury.
So he could be out zero, could be out for a long time, depending on the rating. It is a little more realistic. In theory, a pitcher going without the required rest has a better chance of hurting himself.
Fines would still be in place of course.
Scenario one: You pitch a starter on three days rest after he faced 38 batters. He's a 4 injury. Before the next series (in front of the person you're about to play), you roll for injury as a 3. Could get lucky and not miss a game. Could be out 30 days.
Scenario two: Your guy has been injured for six games, you forget and play him three days later. You'd subtract THREE from his injury rating and roll for the injury. If he was a 4 injury, he's now a 1. Could be real bad.
I like it in theory but would like to see what others think. Oh yeah, and Happy Birthday Kevin. You big douchebag.

I think that sounds perfectly reasonable. The number of days you are short on your rest seems an acceptable way to determine how much should be subtracted from your injury rating, since the shorter the rest, the greater chance of injury you would have in real life. I like that much more than the current system. Even though it has the potential to lose a player for far longer than the current system, perhaps even for the season, it is much more realistic than what we are doing now.
