Add to the discussion that JT is a different guy as a FIN this year than how he would have been if he had been kept around last year. (IMHO)
Eesti (JT fan club president) will have to disagree, but I stand by the fact that JT had his head in the clouds last year, and that he was greatly misused by the Skins last year.
A foused and motivated JT is an altogether different guy than the longstanding vet that got on a self focused ride for a spell.
Whatever the case ... he is both a good player and a good teammate / mentor where is is now.
- While I agree woith Mike that they need to give him a blow once in a while, I think he will have a break out year!
