Lot's of Injuries.......Lots!

[dflem]

I am playing a league using historical rosters. I am in my fourth season and for the first three seasons everything seemsed to be cruising along just fine. A few untimely (is there ever a timely injury?) injuries, but nothing our of line with what would normally happen in a real season and I didn't seem to have any more or less injuries than any other team. The injury frequency is set to normal.

Then this season started......

I immediately had a 3 month injury to my starting catcher. Nothing too alarming. Then just after the all-star break all heck broke loose. I had a 13 month injury to my all-star shortstop, an 8 month injury to my top starting pitcher, my catcher got injured AGAIN for another 3 months. Two starting outfielders were injured one for 6 months and one for 3-4 months and a backup infielder was injured for 6 months.

So I currently have 5 of my starters and one back up on the DL with injuries ranging from one month to 12 months. I looked at each of the other teams and not one team had more than two players with long-term injuries. 90% of the teams had either one or none. Am I just totally mismanaging my team? Is there some setting that needs adjusting? Or is the universe simply conspiring against me and my quest to win the World Series?

Any ideas?

1) bad luck
2) injury prone players
3) really bad luck
4) team doctor with lousy ratings
5) really really bad luck

If you were using my computer, I'd say it was screwing you over. (my computer indeed hates me ). Anyhow, I believe 8-10 years ago the Angels had 11 players on the DL at one time. Although, I think only 3 or 4 were key players (edmonds I remember being one). Most were middle relievers, backups, and a couple of guys were guys injured in spring training who would have been sent down anyway.
