I don't know if this is the case, but maybe TSN in order to play the greatest number of games in the shortest period of time are using the same dice rolls for all of teams that started in a particular week and then another set for the following week. I'd say up to four sets of rolls so maybe weeks 1 & 4 are grouped, 2 & 5, etc. Then this could explain why the same guys are getting injured on multiple teams if they fall multiple times in any of the groups, which I'm sure they do.
Again not sure this is the case, it's just speculation on my part. But time is money and using this system would certainly save time and provide the timely results we like to have. Again to me in this system they'd have to be in the same spot in the batting order, maybe that would explain why all or some of B.Meusel or whoever escape the injury list at any particular time. Suggestion keep Muesel, Clemente, Cochrane, et al out of the same batting slots in the batting order. But same can happen for any slot, because snake eyes and boxcars are coming up and when they do injury for whoever is in the slot with those injury rolls.
Just a theory, the computers guys would be able to tell you if this is feasible or not. :)
