I have to think these are pretty conservative estimates. Also, why does nobody in the national media seem to realize (or acknowledge) that Upton’s shoulder cannot magically heal, and it will require offseason surgery. The stories I see on ESPN and other “major” sources seem to suggest that Longoria simply laid hands upon BJ and his labrum was mended. Dude is swinging the bat like this with one arm, so you kind of have to factor that into any prediction.
