Duke Tobin: Held onto some players too long

[Whatever]

Something as simple as, "what do you mean by that, which players do you feel like you hung on for too long?" 

His quote makes zero sense. 

Unless he's talking about this year and how Hubbard, etc. were getting playing time over yonger guys on the team. I doubt it, though. 

He could mean simply that the team didn't move quickly enough to draft/develop replacements for guys that left or declined with age.

Bates was arguably held onto too long.  They could have used the FT money they spent on him to get a big core piece or a couple of decent starters on multi-year deals instead of hanging on to him for one more year.

Reader, I think you could possibly say the same there because of another nasty quad tear his final year here.  Good player when healthy, but a lot of time spent hurt or less than 100%.
