Nelson and Iloka would have been the starters, keeping Williams on the bench. By keeping Williams on the bench, you never find out if he's actually a good player or truly developing.

You have to have a turnover of talent occasionally even if it's not always comfortable in order to see what your new faces can actually do.

I agree with you.  I just think you need to find out if that new player is what you think he is before you give him a four year extension.
