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...

If you don't want realistic injuries, just edit the file and be done with it. I happen to enjoy the challenge of injuries. Real teams have to deal with injuries and the champions are the one's that overcome those adversities, replace them with solid depth players and do their best with the cards that were dealt.
Example: last year I took the Pirates and had the 1st overall pick, that pick turned out to be a stud pitcher who had a CEI in his first inning of R-ball. I laughed it off and tried to make due. This year, I took the mariners and lost a couple of decent pieces, Cruz for a month and one of the SS for 2 months while on normal setting. I'm about 100 games into the first season and have had 5-6 injuries. The only one currently injured is the SS.
EDIT: The VERY next game after posting this.. Taijuan Walker out 5 months, Seth Smith out 6 weeks and Cruz DtD. Karma?
