Not every player who has forearm inflammation is going to be out 119-120 days; but every player, from a certain defined sample, who did have forearm inflammation, was out some specific number of days, which could have been 119-120.

That's why I asked whether this new injury file is meant to take injury durations from the "civilian" world, and transplant them into baseball, or whether it's meant to mirror the injury durations that pro players actually did experience at some certain time in the past.

I did some minor finishing work on a modded injuries.txt file for OOTP9 which Injury Log had authored. We offered that file to Markus, and now it's the injuries database for OOTPX (the game lists Injury Log, Ian, in its credits).

The methodology used in compiling that file is logical and clear. The design of this one is less so.

That's why I'd like to get a better definition of the parameters of Matter2003's file, such as its date range and its sources (there are some good, comprehensive online lists of player injuries). That way we can compare it with our current injuries database, with the goal of eventually making the best file possible, according to the criteria we set.
