I'm not clear on what time range your data is coming from. Which years? Major-league ball only? Are the proportion of injuries in your file equivalent to the proportion of real injury types experienced by major-league ballplayers? Injury Log has clearly delineated these things in his file.

I'm also confused as to whether you're using "normal people" injury durations, or "baseball players" injury durations: you refer to both alternatives

but I don't understand which route you've chosen to follow, with the data in your injuries file. Is the purpose of your injuries file to imitate what happened in major-league baseball (over a given stretch of time), or is it to create a "real world" of possibilities?
