Its been proven that just because you limit a players innings, it does not really help all that much to prevent other random injuries in the future; thus by limiting Jose's innings this season, he has missed out on multiple starts where the marlins lost but would have had a better chance at winning where he pitching. Id rather just pitch the guy every 5 days and whatever happens, happens. Shutting down Stras that season where the Nats could have won it all has not translated to continued success and health in following seasons like they planned. Basically Im saying screw being cautious and just ball out the full 162+ of the current season because you don't know what could possibly happen in the future in regards to injuries.
Has "it been proven" that once a pitcher has TJ surgery, future workload (particularly in the first year after recovery) has no impact on future arm injuries? If so, please provide a link.
