TPM,

I can honestly say... I've been involved with baseball for some 50 years and I really don't know what the right approach is. I've seen both ways succeed and I've seen both ways fail. I've also seen pitchers miss their entire junior season to injury, but they were already well known prospects and things worked out well for them.

You might know what the key is... but I do not, for sure! There are MLB organizations that have differing views. But I do know most people are in favor of some down time and I guess I am too.

I do know that if I'm in the medical profession I will always recommend "more" than enough down time. That's where you get into that risk and reward thing IMO.
