Sure if he gets his location, he'll be fine, but the ASB is too far out. Lets assume that he doesnt have another save opportunity for the next three games, then thats 4 opportunities in 10 games, multiply that times 8 and he gets 32 opportunities by the ASB. At this clip you would be okay with potentially losing 16 games before the ASB and allowing him to do that? Thats way too many losses IMO.
I understand where you are coming from brother, and I think he has earned the benefit of the doubt to get into the HOF, but if it means lossing games, the team should not have to suffer through that and the manager has to have enough insight into his team to make the smart move no matter how painful it is to Trevor or anyone else.
Add to that one last thing, even if he pulls through and has an average first half, not great, not bad, but average, the article that was posted on MadFriars was very telling as to how he did in the second half of last season and it is uglier than the first thats for sure, so if we make it to the playoffs trying to break in a new Closer in half a season if he doesnt come through could be detrimental to the team going into the playoffs IMO.
