You’re absolutely right that recurring injury to the same body part would be a good variable to add. It’s on my to-do list for some point during the season.

I don’t remember from the previous article or this one but did you look at whether injuries happened to be to the same part of the body? I’d imagine that Reyes potentially has even higher odds of spending time on the disabled list given the recurring hamstring injuries vs. TDA. It looks like the BP transaction records would allow you to add a variable for ‘same part of body as previous’ vs. ‘different’.
