Most likely, he'd play through it and have surgery in the off-season, if so required. Absolute worst-case scenario, he resembles a late-model Shawn Green.
Absolutely. These career enders for star players in their prime is silly. If people like it, great, but there should be an in-game setting to adjust it, not having to go into the text file and tediously (I've done it) modify it every year.
