You just can't predict an ACL tear like that. Some guys are just injury prone. We're a small market team, you have to take chances on talent. Mondesi has the ability to be a 20 HR/60 SB type player, and looked like it when he got a chance to play last year. You'd be nuts to let that walk away.
It's no different than Soler last year. He's a guy who could hit 50+ HR, and we eventually traded him off and watched him become World Series MVP. You have to take chances on elite talent but eventually they run out of time. Mondesi's only 26 years old so his career isn't over, but his time with the Royals might be.
