Has something changed lately? (I've basically taken a hiatus from the game since the end of last season til today) I remember it being stated numerous times that injuries were mostly to reward depth & simulate days off. And that very lengthy injuries weren't the intention...

Well I always used to think of the 10-20 day injuries as the "real" ones. Since those were fairly infrequent compared to the shorter ones. Can't remember ever getting any injury close to this long... Anyway, out of curiosity would really like to know the maximum possible injury length. But only Steve would know that. But to anyone else reading this, what's the longest injury you've gotten so far? Anyone with a 40 day injury?

That is extremely rare...although it happened to my team (best pitcher too!). Most injuries are only a day or two. Starting pitchers tend to miss a few more days (so they actually miss a turn in the rotation). Steve

Starting pitchers tend to miss a few more days (so they actually miss a turn in the rotation). Ah, ok. Wasn't aware you set it up so that risk/length for starters was greater. Does make sense though... anything under a 4 game injury for a starter is basically meaningless. Kind of like MLB suspending a starting pitcher for less than 5 games, lol. --> Pitcher can appeal his suspension, make his scheduled start, then drop the appeal. And serve the suspension on his normal rest days.

The things that affect the injury rate are mostly position played (pitcher & catchers are more likely to get injured) and playing time or number of pitches (ie. a pinch hitter is less likely to get injured than somebody playing the whole game).
