Hey, Hoynsie: Do you think there will be an increased chance of injuries in a short season with players having to get ready quickly and pushing too hard during a 60 to 70-game season as opposed to a traditional 162-game season? Players are going to have to do something to prove they deserve a contract in 2021 and may overextend themselves. – Dave Quickel, Dunwoody, Ga.
