Always seemed to be a weakness on the team for some time.
I wanna say this is just like similar situations we've seen in the recent past, but for the cases of JJ/Leon and MJ/Dunlap, both were similar in age. Nelson being a seasoned vet compared to Iloka's entrance in his prime make this circumstance unique in that respect.
I thought coming into the year it was a predetermined conclusion the goal was to retain Iloka and let Williams replace Nelson. But you wonder with the way Reggie has kept this level of play if he's changing minds in the FO.
Either way, I truly believe 1 will not be here next year. This team has had many offseasons of around 30 million in cap space and I expect always about 1/3 of it won't be used. Which is smart, but sacrifices are made because of it.
