Malpractice not to.
When your worst case scenario is an above replacement level centerfielder on a very tradeable 1 year deal - you are talking all risk and no reward.
Worrying about him accepting is the offer is losing the forrest for the tree. Nobody has ever accepted a QO, and the first to accept certainly won't be a 28 year old Scott Boras client coming of a 2.5 WAR season. Much more likely that he'll do a Kendrys Morales or Stephen Drew and sit out till June than accept the QO.
Take the pick.
