This is the time of the year (cold) that too much standing around (rotation of the DL) is IMO more of a curse than a blessing. You get cold quickly in this weather, especially if you take a series or two off in a row.
I can say from experience I'd rather hit and be hit when I'm warm(er) than cold. I think the rotation is a detriment and needs to be ditched, for more than the above reason.
