Message: [QUOTE="mark79, post: 4940508, member: 421"] Not sure, and I’m not sure any of us non-insiders really know what it is he struggles with. My opinion (and it’s worth what you paid for it!) is that Red needs to stick with Benny this year as we are down big bodies. As much of an enigma as Benny seems to be, and as frustrated as I am with his inconsistency, I personally don’t see us going very far this year without him contributing like he did vs Pittsburg. I retain at least some hope that Red can push the right buttons and figure out how to motivate him. Should he have to after all this time? Maybe not, but unless we have Benny contributing I fear we have a pretty low ceiling this year. Personally, I’m just not ready to resign myself to a low ceiling as it takes a lot of the fun out of watching for me. I’m just a “hope springs eternal” kind of fan I guess! So I guess that means I’m still rooting really hard for Benny. [/QUOTE]
