Disabled List Trends & Team Information

Trends

I recently found out about an article published named Disability Days in Major League Baseball by Stan Conte, Ralph K. Requa and James G. Garrick in the 2001 American Journal of Sports Medicine about time on the disabled list. The article looked at days on the DL from 1989 to 1999. I took this information and Josh Hermsmeyer's DL database from RotoBlog.com and looked at the trend of DL trips and days on DL since 1989. There is no data on the years 2000 and 2001. I used trips and days per team as there was team expansion during this time period.
