That's great data, OFG, and demonstrates that catchers do not accumulate significantly more DL time than players at other positions. I'd guess that the DH total is due to age; DH's are much more likely to be older players than those at other positions. If in OOTP DH's are older than other players, the game might get this right as well, since older players in OOTP are more injury prone than younger ones.
