What if Ray Fosse didn't have Pete Rose run over him at the ASG? What if Herb Score hadn't been hit in the face with a line drive? There are several other players who would be fun to model but either aren't included in various historical packs for lack of a minimum number of PAs/IPs, or their seasons after major injuries dropped off significantly and their career stats ended up being mediocre.

If a player keeps playing after they stop having stats IRL the development engine takes over, so this works for a few players whose careers just plain stopped cold at a certain point (Lyman Bostock, Ray Chapman, and Mickey Cochrane all come to mind) but not so much for guys who suffered their tragedy but still tried to come back with bad results (so, Bo Jackson and Tony Conigliaro for instance). For those players you'd need to remove their post injury seasons from the database you're using.
