Can even a 600+pa's player be injured multiple times for the max 3 games each time? 2010 set Jose Bautista in 72 games has played in only 67 games and has 2 more days of injury.he played in 161 games irl...I was just wondering if this is normal?

its happened to me.. i think it is normal

Absolutely it can and does happen. Each roll is independent of the previous ones and the future ones.

Are you and I reading the same Jose Bautista 2011 SOM card? The one I read says he only played in 149 games.

2010 card

It stinks when a player with 161 games played gets an injury chance.

What stinks more is how poor SOM's injury system is and how easy it would be to make a more realistic one with simple modifications to the present system.

Here's one possibility:

Add max injury to the plus injury result.

Add a +/- modifier to injuries. The modifier increases or decreases the split card draw before referencing the injury chart

Modify the +/- modifier further in these circumstances:

Playing catcher: +1
DH or PH: -2

Add additional results since the net split card can be over 20:

0 or less = not injured
21 = 20 games
22 = 25 games
23 = 35 games
24 = 50 games
25+ = season ending injury

Bautista's card might have something like plus injury -10/1 max

Here is an update to Jose Bautista. 2010 card (he played in 161 games). So far my team has played 126 games. He has played in 116 games, and is currently injured for another 3 games. This just doesn't seem right to me. He is having a great season .264/.364/.641, 37 hr's/108 rbi. Is this something of an internal game engine thing to keep his stats in line with his irl results?

I don't believe so. Just as a craps player can get on a roll at the table, the same thing can happen in this game. For you though its the opposite. You keep rolling snake eyes.

I've seen plenty of 160/161 game players with over 650 PA's go the entire year without an injury
