When a real world HoF player blows up 2 years into a campaign, that becomes a Greek tradgedy worth a USA channel TV movie.
Absent a reason to care, the other injuries fade into the background.

I keep track of my all my injuries in the majors and I know for sure that the proportion of injuries on my team mainly happen to my star players. It could be that I just have bad luck. I just simulated the first week of my season and I had two more players get hurt (decent, not great but I don't have any great players left not injured.)
#2 Starter Searles (Also missed most of last season)
RF Gomez, Voted Rookie of the Year last year, rated 72 (spring training injury)
#1 Starter Edney, was Rated 78 (was injured last year, out 14 months total)
3B Gibbs - Rated 68, my best power hitter who usually hits 30-40 HR a year (not too bad of an injury in comparison)
3B Garcia - Rated 56, starts at 2nd base
2B Delaguarda - Backup 2nd base, rated ~50 (The only one that had no impact on my team)
I lost 1/3 of my starting lineup before the end of the first week of the season.
