That's stupid and you know it. Achilles injuries can be career threatening, and we all know this. We also know that the guy had to get sono therapy after missing 3 months of the season, ie it wasnt healing. This is something that has the potential to become chronic or outright rupture. It is not something to blow off, it is a real concern. Then again, the guy doesnt play defense and showed he can hit, so it is a chance you take. But it isnt a given that he will be a 130 game player next yr, just like there is no guarantee Jeter is either
