Maybe this is how he is most effectively played. It may be that he's a guy who plays better with fewer games, to keep his motivation and energy up. He's a small guy who plays a rough and tumble game. Maybe regular games would be too wearing. The closest he's ever come to a full season was 67 games, and that was 6 years ago.
Anyway, I'm not going to second guess Ward's lineups yet. He's had a pretty hot hand so far.
