If we don’t pick up the option, we still have him this season. How that goes for him will determine what happens when he becomes a UFA next summer.

I understand that.... to clarify, I'm talking about this summer.
EDIT: I'm not asking a factual question. I'm asking for your opinion.

Sorry, I must have misread the question. I think he goes overseas. I can't see anyone taking a chance on him without some level of success elsewhere.OE32 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 04, 2018 2:08 pmI understand that.... to clarify, I'm talking about this summer.

We’re not committed to Anderson. The minutes are there for Bender’s taking if he earns them.

It originated when they would describe themselves as being on "Waiter's Island" as they felt they were the only extant Dion Waiter's believers during his... less encouraging days.

He's got the yips. He's got to get out of his head. There's an Athletic article about him today too.

I think they already told Bender they are not picking up his option.
They would rather have the $6 mil for free agency.

As one of the few inhabitants left on Bender Island I'm looking at putting my beach front property up for sale. What everyone said about him was right. Too timid to find success. It's Zarko redux. Such a shame because it was a tantalizing mix of skills but he didn't put any of it together.

What did you think of his performance last night? He did play better than his other recent outings.carey wrote: ↑Sat Oct 06, 2018 7:43 amAs one of the few inhabitants left on Bender Island I'm looking at putting my beach front property up for sale.

We took the hole four years, and a summer to give up on Alex FREAKING Len. I’ll gladly take all your titles in the island and wait out the season to see if Koskokov can save this kid’s soul. And I’m noticing lately that this is not so much of an island, moreso like a village.
Or perhaps some people are posing like supporters leaving the ship?
People can’t call themselves as living in Bender’s island if only writes about him to talk about selling their stock, can they?

I've been the board's biggest supporter of Bender. I've been preaching a wait & see approach for 2 years. It's just he hasn't gotten better at anything in 2 full seasons. That's worrisome.Aztec Sunsfan wrote: ↑Sat Oct 06, 2018 10:30 amWe took the hole four years, and a summer to give up on Alex FREAKING Len.
