Erik Bedard has done that. With luck, attitudes will change over time, and with luck, athletes will come to better understand their own physical limits. The headline question is a dumb one.
History will remember Erik Bedard the way it remembers everyone: too simply. Maybe his perceived lack of work ethics falls into him seeming to know and acknowledge the limits of his body more than other pitchers. Good points. I think Bedard falls somewhere between a health conscious professional who knows his body and the arrogant, distracted, lazy player who he is commonly labeled.
It always seemed like he was ok losing, unlike other professional athletes that got to this level by being competitive. I always liked Bedard. People are different on how they react to things. For every Brendan Ryan there is an Eric Bedard. I think a lot of fan perception on him is heavily colored by the way the media portrays him, rather than perhaps actually how he is. Good for him. Bedard also seems kind of cool guy with regards to his home life.
Despite the riches, in the off season he practices and trains with the help of his brother, an elevator repairman like his father, in a large chicken barn to avoid the cold. Then when he finally built a house, he built it such that his brother could live in half of it and Bedard in the other half. Seems like a pretty down to earth guy, unlike most of the athletes who generally seem quite full of themselves, even if they are also really nice guys aside from that.
I pounded my fist. The player is taking one for the team, seen as a good thing, even if it may be more damaging to the team in the long run. Perception and peer pressure come into play, as no player wants to give the impression that they are not giving everything they have for the team.
Bryce Harper runs into walls and ends up on the DL. Pitchers in non-DH games that appeared on the lineup card but didn't bat will still have a game in this column. IP WHIP 1.
