Sven is by no means a superstar this season... he is probably middling, but with a huge amount of potentional. That said, he has YET to be the worst player on this team ( Jackman certainly has! ), and has not deserved to be benched once, let alone twice.

You basically said we wouldn't be under .500. That means you think we would have won those two games with Sven in the lineup. I didn't make anything up there.
If you were to ask me who showed more effort: Jackman tonight vs. Sven in Chicago, I would have said Jackman easily tonight. Talent potential aside, we can't have players coasting. If you want to compare Sven vs. Glencross, we can do that, but I hate comparing Sven to Jackman. It's just not an apt comparison.
