Season and Career Enders for Players 30 and under

[missionhockey21]

Due to the injuries a few seasons ago to Boston ace McCarthy and Atlanta ace Hamburg, I allowed for them to restore their player's former luster (or most of it.) This was done as both were young and talented, and many players can bounce back from injuries when they are young to success again.

If a player who is 30 or under has a career-ender, he will finish the season out on the disabled list. I will remove the career ending status, he will have some portion of his talent/ratings revived (up to my discretion) and be ready to go for the next season.

If a player who is 30 or under has a season-ender, he will finish the season out on the disabled list as well. But, he will have a larger if not close to full revive of his talent/ratings than a career-ender (again, my discretion.)

However, a team only has two chances to do this until the completion of the 2036 season, then we will all start fresh. They could be both career or season-enders or a mix. As Atlanta and Boston used one last season, they are both down to only one.

Do not post in this topic unless you want to use one of your get out of jail free cards, so at a maximum everyone should only have two posts ever made in this topic. I will edit in my comments to your post.

This starts fresh so every team again has two opportunities to use over the next two seasons (until 2030 is completed.)

[General]

Bring back 3B Royal Vandiver.

9-6-3-10-9 talent, 9-6-2-10-9 actuals, 27 years old. Defense sux, but is 3B .950 F% with a 3 range and a 9 arm.

Do I have the option at the end of the season to finally decide whether or not I want a player with a season ender to be restored? There's no way right now to tell how much talent he will lose or if a catastrophic injury happens to a better player. If so, I want to leave this as a possibility.

Tampa Bay Devil Rays
Age 24
MR Barney Fernandez 9-9-7 ratings with 4 endurance, 10-9-8 talent as of 7/17/2029

[missionhockey21]

Sure, just make sure to bump this up if you decide. I confirm the post above for ratings.

Vandiver is still listed as "out for entire career"

[missionhockey21]

Yeah, I do it at the end of the season since I'll edit them then.

[Kingdom]

Do they not retire after some time during the season? I know they do on ootp9
