Message: [QUOTE="Day2, post: 5305627, member: 5348"] Your timeline is off. We already had Lampkin wrapped up before anything happened with Leffew. Ironically, Lampkin wound up holding out for the money we wouldn’t give Leffew (and then some, from the sound of it). Red probably didn’t want to get burned a third time after Edwards and Leffew. A quick word on injuries. Starling’s shoulders had nothing to do with him breaking his wrist and Westry’s knees had nothing to do with him getting mono. You might be onto something with going after injured players because of the discount. (On the other hand, both Starling and Westry were already on our radar when they were HS seniors, so it was more likely that.) It’s reasonable to fault Red for taking a chance on a guy with a bad knee who wound up injuring the other knee. It’s not reasonable to fault Red when the same player gets mono after the knee injuries are potentially behind him. [/QUOTE]
