He is just a kid and he has a chance to play either professional football or professional baseball. Most kids don't have 2 choices, so the decision is easy for them. I guarantee if he was a late round baseball selection or a projected mid to late round football selection the decision would be a lot easier for him.

The point is the A's basically threw away the 10th overall pick in the MLB draft because Murray guaranteed he would be 100% committed to baseball if he was a 1st round pick.

Now he says he is fully committed to football....how can you be confident that if things don't go his way in NFL negotiations/playtime/taking too many hits that he doesnt just up and quit and go back to the MLB after a year or less?
