"it's just surgery with a defined recovery time and prognosis based on recovery..."
That's probably true for me, you and any normal people working behind a desk or driving a car. Here we're talking about the highest levels in sports and even if baseball is not exactly a contact sport there're still many stressing situations especially involving articulations (knee, ankles, shoulder, elbow). Mickey played a whole career with just one leg and a half and obviously I'm not much interested in what Rendon is going to do in ten years fron now but if -- and I repeat IF -- his injuries are a symptom of a particular athletic fragility he might face serious troubles in ten months instead. Hope to be completely wrong both for the kid's fortune and for the pleasure to watch a great baseball player for many years.
