No, if you are going to waste a spot on a fighter, he better be a good fighter. Jackman is not a good fighter. It doesn't make your team any bigger when the biggest guy you have constantly gets his butt kicked, it's demoralizing. You are better off having a smaller guy with a bigger fight.

And besides, Jackman types are a dime a dozen. They could have got a pick for him last year and then signed a guy like Winchester this year. Again, you gain a pick. This is what asset management is all about.
