I think the game would be a lot more interesting to play if this aspect of the game was made more realistic.

Instead of career ending injuries I would like to see an injury rated at 12 or so months and then the player retires if unable to make it back to the majors. It could still be coded internally as a CEI but not known to the human players as such.
