They do but I don't think that pitchers suffer the serious (3 months plus) amount of injuries that we are currently seeing. I think torn labrums, UCLs, PCLs and elbow ligaments being set at 4 or 5 makes them far too frequent.

I'm not saying that they aren't researched and based on sound evidence. I'm just saying that they way they were entered and how the game handles them does not seem to be realistic IMO.My sample size has been small, but its seems pretty consistent with several others and the injury file kind of backed up what I thought.

I'm all for injuries. I have no problem using the DL and calling guys up. I just don't want to see 4 of my top 5 pitchers in my system suffer season ending injuries in the first two months of play...
