Hmm, take that much of a risk during his Junior year????? This kid has potential D1 talent. Not taking chances with this young man his Junior year just makes sense. Rushing anything is just plain ignorant. It is going to work for Austin Vann of Campbell County. He had the surgery, did not play his HS year, was able to Hit during summer ball and is able to play in the outfield for me during Fall Ball. He has as much talent as Chandler and because he was handled properly, will make an impact his Senor year.

I agree, a little common sense can go a long way, Dusty.

As you implied, his surgery is such a common occurance anymore, and the success rate is so high, that this doesn't make a lick of sense. I'm scratching my head on this one as well. Why would anyone jack around ten minutes trying too pull off a stunt like this. Why not just take this year off to work on the things that may have caused the danged problems to begin with? Take the time to let yourself heal properly and work on the proper mechanics of being a right hander first. Try and work on the things that will help keep you healthy for the long haul.
