Predicting injury "Prone-ness"

1

There was a mini discussion in one of the Front Page threads over the last week about if a player (Avery Bradley I believe) could be labeled as "Injury prone" and if that should be taken into account when thinking about re-signing that player. This article attempts to show how different types of injury can be more or less predictive of future injury. It's about Ellsbury and Baseball but I think the assumptions are transferable to all sports.
