His injury is a terrible thing for baseball. Yes, the game will go on just fine without him, but he's a unique piece of in-career baseball history. What he is doing isn't generational, it's something we haven't seen on this level of mastery. He's got a Cy Young arm with a MVP bat and that can be easily said without exaggeration.
What he's doing is up there with Barry Bonds 2001-2004. When are we going to see a player on this level again?
