This whole injury thing is fascinating to me. I have a really good prospect who has a tight hammy, lost 1 speed and health rating and is out 9 days. I know he will gain speed, likely 1-2 total points and likely range, which would be helpful. I’m worried it will come at the expense of splits and contact. Will those also improve at some point later? Am I stunting his growth in those areas by putting him on the 60 and letting him gain speed and range?
1) Not sure he'll gain range if he didn't lose it in the first place.
2) As you know, you lose 60 days of his ordinary development time if you put him on the 60-day. I've seen prospects who appeared to gain back the following season all their development previously lost to injury, and I've seen others that seemed to just lose that development time permanently. So I think it's a gamble to make this move.
