Not only would many careers have ended early, many others would have been written because of opportunities created. The right time and right place theory. My bet is that decades of statistics in every category would be turned upside down.

This player should have waited until off season like Lincecum did, then smoke his brains out. Duh!
The suspension is old news. My son was talking to a trainer in the Dodger's organization over the winter who said something on the order of "He's good but he's developmentally disabled." about Lambo. That wasn't the actual term the trainer used.

Actually it applies to males and females. The differnce being that while the total development time is nearly the same, the female brain is more developed at all stages along the way.
Unbelievable. Second offense, and bad decision again. This is Darwin's theory hard at work. He is really putting himself in a difficult position to become successful.
Jimmy03 - was that study done by a female? ;-)

Female brains have to be more developed. At fifty years old guys still ooh and aah when foul balls go into the parking lot.
