The only player who would be a like for like would be Bolton.
Yes that's right, and how others are seeing it.
It's a hard one, obviously. If they dropped Bolton for Pickett, at this point of an important final, you'd have to think there'd be a real risk it might result in Bolton leaving. So I mean, there's THAT in the mix maybe, as well. Maybe.
From what we've seen, Pickett could be real value in this so important game this week, but only the MC is REALLY in a position to judge this. If we win, we look pretty damn good for the big one. But if it means dropping Bolton, I think the odds are it won't happen.
On other hand, if for example they dropped Short for Pickett instead, that then means some restructuring required, I'd think. I think the odds are against that also.
All up, It just comes out as...'against type' at this point - meaning not generally in the MC"s nature. All up, if Pickett comes in, it would be a surprise. The talk sure, that was going to happen, and it can be used to mindgame the Lions a bit, maybe.
Who knows.
