One thing that annoys me are the injury ratings for Mike Trout. He has four cards, and his two best offensive cards-- 2018 (10.12M) and 2019 (8.9M)-- have a 2 injury rating. This makes them hard to use.
And Trout had plenty of plate appearances in both seasons. In 2018 he had 471 AB + 122 walks. That's 593 PA, which is very close to the 600 PA 3 injury trigger. In 2019 it was 470 AB + 110 BB = 580 PA. A lot of regulars with much lower PA have 1 injury ratings. I'm not sure why ATG is picking on Trout.
For example, George Brett, in 1980, his big .390 BA season, had 449 AB + 58 BB = 507 PA. Yet he has a 1 inj. Brett was injured a lot in that season and missed 45 games. So why is it that in two of Trout's seasons when he had a lot more PA, Trout is a 2 injury?
