[Stardust]

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.

We all have times in our lives when you need to take a step back and look at the big picture. I feel this is certainly one of those times.

Common sense many times loses out to selfishness. So often the parents and the coaches say, well I just want the player to do what they want. BULL ****. We are the adults! If that same youngster who has not been around the block a time or two wanted to shoot-up, would those same adults give that teenager the freedom if they could stop that!

Sorry, I got lost in my own rambling. Good posts gentlemen! :Thumbs:
