I can guarantee he's not gonna stock the DL team with selfish guys. Finding useful players outside of the draft and who bring the kinds of skills and mentality Phil demands is a big deal. We may not always see what he sees but I think there needs to be a bit more respect given to Phil's approach. At least he has a real sense of purpose and a blueprint for what teams need, unlike many of our past Prez/GM's. I wouldn't be so quick to laugh off his prospects nor what he will have in store for their development.

while i refuse to jump for joy with signing Vandenberg, i do agree with the above sentiment. i like that phil is developing a farm system

Not that familiar with Vandenberg... I see that the Wizards released C Daniel Orton on the 16th. And Crush just pointed out that C Hassan Whiteside was just released by Memphis. These two bigs I am familiar with...Up to me, these are the 2 centers I'd target for my DL team. Briggs mentioned PG Deonte Burton the other day, another promising young player that was released earlier this preseason by Sac. I like that kid a lot too -- strong/athletic PG. I'd love to see all 3 of these guys on the Westchester roster.
