Many of us believe that injury proness is likely a hidden trait, but its almost impossible to confirm something like that since there is a significant amount of luck involved in getting an injury. EDIT: It is likely there are a number of hidden traits that we don't know about, but a couple examples of traits which have been confirmed: base stealing aggressiveness, groundball/flyball ratio. Also highly suspected, vsLefty/vsRighty performance. Other popular suspects: injury proness, monthly performance weightings, bunting ability, double play ability.

However my starter was injured much more last year so I don't think he injury prone ..just the position is. I went out and found another C with 17 arm and 17 speed for 500K.... can't hit at all, but I use him as a pitch runner and catcher as needed.

I think it should mostly be fatigue injuries, but since they pop up randomly (not based on playing time as that would be a lot more coding), you can sometimes get unlucky and have them all fatigued at once. Injury proness may be real, or may be an imagined pattern. Either way its fun to speculate

The injury rate in this game is far lower than in real life. Anything less would be boring. I didn't say that he had missed long time. I said he got injured several times. In this sense, I'm led to think that could there be an hidden trait for injury proneness. I have hard times thinking about randomness for the same player injured 4 or 5 times in half a season.

The trait might exist, and it might not. Just like in real life. I think its more fun not knowing for sure and just making your own assumptions.

Meccanodonte Joined: 04/21/2014 Posts: 370 Inactive	FYI: Hurtado got injured again (for 2 or 3 days). @Rock: I agree with you about arbitrary standpoints and randomness, but.. can we call this simply randomness?

Some guys are better suited to be catchers because of it. This is total conjecture on my part. There certainly may be an injury proneness hidden trait as well. The good news about it seems to be that even the most injury prone guy isn't going to be rendered useless by it.
