Thx for the car shipping & bicycle story. Injury was my first thought at 20dad's suggestion.
He hasn't done much cycling lately on something that wasn't stationary! 
We're also on the same page about waiting, as the clubs really don't give the guys much notice about when and where they'll be when it comes to team assignments. Son did just fine in SS without a car for 3 months but he also lucked out with a great host family who provided a car for the 3 guys to use. Just can't see this as a good arrangement for a full season. But we'll see. Son threw a couple innings in a scrimmage today, so Life is good so far. 
Now if only his Spring Training was in AZ, it would be a piece of cake for us to arrange for a car from CA. FL or PA/NJ is more of a challenge, but we'll figure it out. Just an interesting part of a minor league player's life that I wanted to share with those looking at the draft this year.
