injury length

[balk19]

Question.

How do you know the injury potential (length) for a player?
I've seen plenty of threads saying not to take so-and-so because he is a 15 game injury player, whereas this other guy is only 8 games max.

I'm curious because in my last ATGII league I have Cochrane and he has been injuried 3 times (15 games, 10 games, and 15 games).

I'm drafting an ATGIII team and I'd like to find players who won't sit out half the season. Judge was another player I dropped because he loved sitting out multiple 10+ game stretches (making it worse on himself by only batting .238 when he was healthy).

A player can be one of 3 things:

- Uninjurable (if he has 680+ PAs)
- 3 game max injury (600-679 PAs)
- 15 game max (<600 PAs)

There's a chart someone could post that shows the expected duration if injury based on where the injury falls on the card (1-6) and what the injury dice rolls. Even someone like Hershberger (a 6 injury) can get injured but roll only a "rest of game" injury and be back the next game. The higher the number on which the injury falls on the card (a 7 roll vs a 2 roll), the more frequent the injury possibility.

i am not sure about atg3.... but on the player list they have an injury number listed...... if its a zero they can't be hurt. Other then that if a player has 600 plate appearances or more he can only be hurt for 3 games...anything under 600 and he can be hurt for up to 15.

Plate appearances = AB's + BB's

Thanks. Thats what I figured. I was hoping there was some "extra" secret I didn't know about.
