On the other hand if the playoffs were starting Monday and Vegas made it in do you think Stone would be in the lineup? I would make a substantial bet he would be.

I have several times now agreed that this is the case, but this is moreso because players are almost always going to play even when there is no way they should be playing. So Stone was not so completely crippled that it was impossible for him to play, but he has also not been playing anywhere near perfect health all season. What do you propose? Players must be returned to the lineup if deemed 80% healthy? 85%? 81.67%
I agree, it is a problem. But we disagree that there is a ready and straightforward solution. It's pretty complicated.
