Thing is, you can't control most of those things by modifying the injury file - at least not if you have a file of any size. The game chooses a duration for an injury first, and if it finds a suitable diagnosis in the injury database, it uses that diagnosis. Unless this new file simply removes all SEIs that can possibly happen on certain play types ('while running', 'while fielding', etc), which wouldn't be realistic, it shouldn't affect the frequency of short term injuries, unless Markus edited the injury code without telling anyone. One thing that can be controlled is 'instant CEIs'; if you switch all the CEI booleans in the file to '0', they can be eliminated. That's easy enough to do with any injury file, however.
And, as I've mentioned elsewhere, there are far more instant CEIs in real baseball than some people think, judging by some of the posts in this thread.
