If we are going to try to replicate real life injury trends we need to study the real type and duration of those injuries.

The 'broken hand' line of injuries.txt should be deleted; that really shouldn't be in there.
As for injuries, just looking at rotoworld reports from June 2nd only, you have the following real life injuries that caused a player to leave or miss a game, or to be placed on the DL, on either June 1 or June 2:
Evan Longoria - hamstring tightness
Jake Peavy - flu
Ramon Martinez - fractured finger
Milton Bradley - calf strain
Asdrubal Cabrera - probable dislocated shoulder
Josh Willingham - stomach virus
Mark DiFelice - elbow soreness
Sid Ponson - elbow strain
Kip Wells - adductor strain
Carlos Beltran - stomach virus
Mike Cameron - knee soreness
Edinson Volquez - elbow tendinitis
Jesus Flores - stress fracture (shoulder)
Josh Hamilton - abdominal strain
David Riske - Tommy John surgery (setback)
Chad Qualls - forearm soreness
I didn't read the reports from June 1, so there are probably others. That's already eight injuries per day, not counting those I missed, in a 30 team league.
