My thinking was sort of along Raidergoo's lines in that, if a team did this in real life, they'd probably be burning bridges with the player and drawing the ire of the Players' Union. From that perspective it seems like it might be worth it to put some kind of limitation on 60-day DL usage (but exactly what kind of limitation, I'm not entirely sure). On the other hand, monitoring a rule like that would take a bit of doing... I suppose it's an open question as to whether it's worth the effort or not.
For the record, we do have one DL rule in place that addresses what mikev mentioned: You have to remove a player from the DL once he's eligible to return within two sims of him returning to full health or suffer a small (but steady) CP penalty.

sounds to me like it wouldn't be out of character to consider a rule. I would be carefull to make sure the cure isn't worse than the problem. One I can see is if a rule is in place a situation may arise where a player gets hurt for 4 or 5 weeks but the 40 man roster spot is needed to bring up or sign a suitable replacement.
make a list of pros & cons and see what you think.?.
