The injury file in the game now includes every diagnosis from the 2007 MLB season that occurred at least twice, and most that occurred once. The lone diagnosis I know that is off is the 'broken hand' diagnosis; no player was sidelined for more than 80 days with a fractured hand in 2007, and that line should be deleted from injuries.txt. The duration ranges in injuries.txt now are based on the actual times players missed in the 2007 season from each injury, so I don't understand the claim earlier in this thread that the durations are unrealistic - they are based on real life data.
Pitchers do not, in real life, get injured more frequently than batters - that's a myth. They do, however, get injured for longer durations than batters when they do get injured - pitcher injuries last, on average, about three times longer than batter injuries. OOTP-X did not model that correctly in the release version, though I'm hoping things will be closer to reality in the first patch.
