The point is to look from the player perspective. There are no advantages to any player voluntarily getting a physical. Sure, the Astros are free to look at a player's refusal and consider that, but that only begs the question: how many of the potential draftees offered medical information prior to the draft? If it is even more than a few then you can claim they did not consider everything. Otherwise, they were working with the same data as everyone else.
