Quote:While you didn't answer my questions, I think I can at least infer the answer to the Monroe one. You wouldn't have traded Monroe, but you would take that deal in a heartbeat for Joeckel, is that right? 

Stating you don't care how Monroe is now doesn't really seem to me to be building your credibility. Also, can you refer to the post here that says Monroe is 'playing fine'? Seems to me most folks have noticed that he has had lapses, including a few flat out ugly plays. Just out of curiosity based on some of what you said above, how did you think Beadles is doing so far? How do you think he did last year?

I'm not the GM, and I don't know who/what we could actually get if we traded Joeckel. It's a risky move because there might be someone even worse that takes his spot. Will Corbin? Don't even know him. I guess we could throw versatile Bowanko over there and see if he sticks? Hahah. If there was a good deal and an average veteran LT on the market, then yes, I would. I didn't like the decision with letting go of Monroe, I thought he was good. Now he is struggling too, but that could be numerous reasons. He might not fit the system, injured, or he's just washed up, I don't know. Beadles is doing a lot better and I've actually seen noticeable improvement. Unlike Joeckel, when Joeckel wins it looks ugly and he won by the skin of his teeth. Beadles is on his way to becoming above average if he keeps it up.
