Injury Frequency

Suggestion:
Include the frequency of each injury and off-field event in the injuries.txt and off_field_injuries.txt files.

For example...

100,15,45,20,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,1,hyperextended elbow,a hyperextended elbow,,

This would mean a player has a 1-in-100 chance of suffering a hyperextended elbow whenever a pitching/throwing injury is determined to have occured.

20000,1,0,0,when his fingers got stuck in a bowling ball,

This would mean a player has a 1-in-20000 chance of suffering this kind of injury on any given day of the year.

Reason:
Much more realistic frequency of certain injuries and events.

Priority:
The priority for doing something about this, whether it's simply adding a number to the text files or reformatting the whole injury/off-field event system, is EXTREMELY HIGH.
