The only thing to keep in mind when cranking up injuries is this: with the way injuries are coded & listed in the Injuries.txt file, specific injuries do not change frequency, length, or likelihood based on whether the player is a pitcher, batter 1B/DH, or batter who playes other positions. There are also some injuries that should be connected, but are not.

I've monkeyed around with the injury file before, so what does this mean? It means that a DH who never throws could come down with a UCL injury and be out for an entire year. It also means that, at least from what I've seen with higher injury settings, batters frequently get the same kinds of long-term arm & shoulder injuries that pitchers get.

It also means that, since things like concussions and post-concussion syndrome have no connection, a player who has never had a head injury before can suddenly get hit with post-concussion syndrome and find himself out for 5-6 months.
