If a player misses over 600 ABs due to injury, that's a lack of production which can cause them to miss compensation-eligibility. If we're just gonna let good players who missed time for injury get compensation automatically, then we need to just go back to the 90+ are Type A, 86-89 are Type B
That lack of production was a one year abberation then because we ticked up injuries. Last I checked, in real life, Bud Selig can't unleash the plague - which is the closest equivalent to this. I love the production based system, what I don't love is us playing God with injuries, causing a wave of injuries, and then holding it against the unfortunate teams who felt the affect.
Since we played with the injury function, we should exempt seasons lost to injury as a direct result of that change.
In my opinion, any time the league opts to make a radical change like that, any affects that would hurt the teams should be taken into account.

I say just go forward with the way it is now since we have changed the injury rating back (as far as I believe). For the amount of players that it effected its not worth the hassle. If you compensate the players that got injured then you would have to compensate those who didn't because they were extra durable and yada yada yada. Comp barley effects too many players as it is anyway.
But it can be a major problem for the teams screwed by it. The fix is simple - if a player got crushed in 2014 by injury due to our tampering, we should go back to their last healthy season.
If we're going to maintain this injury level, then we should keep that rule in effect until 2-3 years have gone in the books so that it's fair across the board. As it stands now, it was a lottery of bad luck.
