I've pointed out that sort of thing before. The DL length has changed in real life, but with larger jumps. The different lengths of the short-term DL in MLB over the years: 10, 15, 21, and 30 days (the long-term DL has always been 60 days). To the foregoing we could probably add 7 days, as that is the length of the concussion DL as well as the current minor league short-term DL length.

I'd suggest the DL should use one of these lengths, and then only move one value up or down when changing. (The changes should also be infrequent.)
