I'd love Hall as a safety, but this raises a few questions:
1. Is Iloka a question mark to start the season?
2. Is Hall really big enough to fill in at SS? I know he's smart enough and has the cover skills, but stopping the run from that position will be tough on him at 193 lbs. Iloka weighs in at 225.
3. If Iloka and Nelson are healthy, where does that leave Hall?
I think it's possible he's just filling in for Iloka and getting some experience in case Iloka has a setback or can't play to start the season. I also have to wonder if it's possible they let Leon take over for Nelson next year. Of course, they'd have to really reduce his salary if he's going to be a safety.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
