Im tired of the main boards opinions and getting bullshit ratings when no one debates.
If you guys have a son and were in the same situation where would you guys as fathers advise him?
Personally, I love baseball. Was looking at a scholarship my senior year before tearing my shoulder apart throwing a guy out at home from centerfield - and then playing the last half of the season with a messed up shoulder. I'd love to see my kid go in baseball (though he's sure he wants to be in the olympics for tae kwondo).
I'd also advise him to really think about what he wants, which sport he'd rather play. Devote your time to one, don't try to be the two sport hero, cause chances are you'll fail at both. Today's professional sports are so competitive, it'll be difficult to anyone to be a star at 2.
I've seen some of the comments on the general board and it shows that a lot don't understand what it takes to be professional in 1 sport let alone 2. The money difference between NFL and MiLB seems to be the crux of the arguments I was seeing a few days ago. Money isn't everything.

I'd tell him do what makes you happy. Obviously money is a factor and that's tough to ignore but at the end of the day I would think he enjoys one more then the other. I honestly have no idea how good of a baseball player he is other then what i read. He was dynamic on the field at Oklahoma but there is no way to know if his style will translate for sure. It will be a fascinating story to follow for sure.
Don't care.
I'm hoping his talent goes to the NFL as opposed to helping the A's.
He could go to the Arizona Cardinals
