Just like everything there is risk/reward. Should he take the opportunity, hell yea. Is it a once in a lifetime chance to further his brand and have an unreal moment with his pops, hell yea. But with that said, it comes with a risk. Injuries are most likely to occur in two scenarios 1: when an athletes muscles are worn down and can no longer protect ligaments/tendons at 100% 2: when an athlete is exerting max effort over a sustained amount of time. My point is, as a fan of how the Os do in the second half, I’d selfishly like for him to avoid an event where he will be both exhausted & exerting max effort over a sustained amount of time. As a fan of Adley, baseball, and a guy that simply wants to be entertained, Im all about it. But again, everything in life comes with a risk. Is the risk too big in this case, absolutely not - but there is the underlying risk nonetheless. In general I don’t consider myself risk averse. But with young athletes/assets I tend to be a bit more cautious. A friend of mine’s HS son was slated to be drafted this year round 4-5ish but will not because of a broken hamate bone in his hand suffered at a PG HR derby contest. I posted the LA times article that mentioned a couple injuries, Judge shoulder being the most significant. I’ve seen this happen time and time again with kids at amateur level going to hard for too long and coming away with a season ending injury. But again, that’s me being a worry wart and I’m happy he gets this opportunity. I’m excited to watch him.
