Getting two CEIs in a year in the game should be rare; getting two at one position even moreso. Of course, with so many people playing the game now, rare things will happen to some of them. Hopefully that was an isolated occurrence, and I agree it's unrealistic; if you run into that again, it's certainly a problem.

I think this is a pretty huge thing, getting the splits between pitchers and position players correct. It's nice that the overall frequency of injury matches real life on a macro scale. But that doesn't mean nearly as much if it breaks down on the micro scale.
Real life teams need to stockpile pitching like it's going extinct. OOTP teams have to spread out their depth because the injuries don't quite work right.
A related question: did the beta team look at injuries vs. age, and injuries vs. position (especially catchers)? Do pitchers under 25 get hurt more often? Do catchers get hurt more, fail to develop more often, and age faster than other players?
