Very strange how things are turning out with everything from the virus to contract negotiations to a glut of OFers..
Last fall or whenever the rule 5 draft happened I was really looking forward to seeing Mark Payton be a headliner for the club and in any ordinary season he probably would have been an automatic gimme to start at just about any OF position. He had great numbers in both power and average and not too shabby defensively. Just a few years ago we really had nobody we could call a star OFer and suddenly fabulous prospects are somehow just mere after thoughts. Whoda thunked it?
