As I generally play single season sometimes I edit players to reduce the length of time they are out. Can't have the 61 Yankees with Maris out for five months, or the 85 Royals with Brett out for six months, etc.

I typically play historical and while I like to see variations from history (otherwise, why play a historical sim?), I don't like to see season-ending and career-ending injuries (that's just my preference; I realize that's not for everyone). In addition, since most of my sim era's are prior to the 90's and many of them 60's and much earlier, I don't like to see modern medical lingo in my injury diagnoses. IOW, I don't want to see Chief Bender sidelined by a "a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament" or Ted Williams shelved due to a "flexor-pronator strain." So, a few years ago I made my own injuries file and made sure there were very few injuries longer than 30 days, no SEI's or CEI's, and I looked up all the overly (IMO) technical medical descriptions and replaced them with the way I'd have read about them in old sports sections. Lots of sprains, soreness, and bruises to body parts described in basic terms like arm, elbow, shoulder, knee, finger, lower leg, foot...).
It wouldn't work for modern-day simmers, but it works for me...
