Pitcher injuries are a fact of life in baseball, and any fantasy plan that ignores them is not much of a plan. Assume that some of your starters will miss time and build a staff that can absorb it.

Not sure I buy it, but you have convinced me to at least make an offer.

How deep is your league? That changes things a lot.
