[QUOTE="Whiskey_Clear, post: 37775, member: 735"] I think it is easy to sit back in an armchair and say this decision was a no brainer. Baseball was the kids first love I believe. Yes the shoulder injury was rotten luck an likely ended his prospects as a pitcher. I'm betting he could have made a transition to another position had he chosen to return. Don't follow baseball much so I could be way off base but the kid is an athlete and that usually translates well to other positions. It is much easier to earn a living playing pro baseball than it is in football and chance of having good longevity is better in baseball. Hope this does work out well for him. I'm personally excited about it for my own selfish reasons. I do think he has the potential to make it in the NFL though and that is where he probably has the best chance for a real big pay day come time to sign a contract. [/QUOTE]
