I didn't say he was a bust, but this decision makes little sense unless it's done to improve chances at landing EL. I am not sure how many others in this thread actually watched him play this year.

Good news is he'll have next year to sit out, work on lateral quickness and improve.

Please explain why this message is being reported.
