Matsumoto drafted by Phily

[TG1996]

That's the dog that saved Charleston from the 1938 flood.

No doubt if he stay's he will be appointed Captain by virtue of being drafted. That would be a mistake because he is disliked by his teammates and his two underage drinking and one theft charge last season seem to indicate a propensity for poor judgment rather than leadership qualities. I realize, however, that common sense seldom prevails in these matters.

"Character counts".

Falconblue, you are a boneheaded malcontent of monumental proportions.
Your extreme hatred for the present coaching staff clouds your judgment, and permeates practically every sentence you write. Opinions are like a-holes, everybody's got one, and yours stinks! Keep them to yourself, unless you can back them up with FACTS, not your warped delusions.

Here's some facts.

Taylor Christie was drafted, was he made captain? Jimmy Spratt is drafted, will he be wearing letter? Of the ten players who have earned a "C" or an "A" during Coach Paluch's tenure only two have been drafted (Kevin Bieksa and Jordan Sigalet).

I'm not surprised by your statement that Moto "is disliked by his teammates." I'll at least give you credit for having the sense to avoid inserting the word "all", as in "all his teammates." My take is that he may have been unpopular with that portion of the 'team' that was lazy, sloppy and uncooperative (among them, players who still don't understand why they were not named captains last year) . You, and several of your heros would see someone with Moto's talent and attitude as a brown-nose, and be jealous of his gifted status. I heard some of these same grumblings directed at Jonathon Sigalet two years ago. Sour grapes and total BS, then and now.

I touch less emotion and personal jabs when presenting a counter argument would be appreciated.
