@James

As I stated, I don't have solid confirmation. I haven't ran a concerted bit of research, nor has anyone else that I've ever seen. I can however state what I believe from viewing games/box scores/player history. If you think I'm wrong, I'd love to see the research to the contrary.

One thing I do think is interesting and could have an impact is the seeming "New Doctor causes injuries" although personally I think that this is just negative reinforcement. Someone buys a new doctor, happens to get an injury next game and therefore the new Doctor caused the injury. If it *is* a greater chance, that's another unknown to factor into any research on injuries in general.

That actually bears out what I've seen. Which coming from the BBs makes sense. When outmatched, I see players foul more often. If there's a foul, there's a greater chance of injury (due to a greater number of "rolls" in the system)

One thing I don't see though is more aggressive players getting injured more often. Although it's hard to tell precisely how aggressive a player is, I'd wonder if there's a real marked difference between injuries on a player such as:

Thanks for he responses all...Was hoping there was something about this I could take action on, but since there's no established answer I guess I'll keep chalking it up to bad luck

Group hug!
