The purpose is to research the injuries listed and find a variety of players that have had the injury, and look at the lengths of time they have been out so there is a more complete profile of the injury. As I said previously, some of the injury min/max times were just ridiculous. Not every baseball player who has forearm inflammation is going to be out 119-120 days with no other option.

Since there seems to be a lot of talking past each other - I think I'd put something injury log said in another thread into this thread to clarify one big complaint that you have:

With the frequency numbers, these narrow windows may be unnecessary, but I don't think anyone yet knows just what the frequency numbers in injuries.txt do.

The funky durations you're seeing is for this reason probably - not because they are "accurate". He was trying to control injury occurrence frequency as near as I can tell. I have seen no evidence that your edited file achieves the same thing but I'd be interested to see it if you have it.
