And the difference may be the talk about how Engelland was very well liked and respected in the room. That his attitude and work ethic was a fit. I don't know.
But yes, I'm surprised that one of the 6-8 teams offering to Engelland (assuming they were looking for this type of guy) haven't signed Bellemore instead. By the numbers, he looks like a better choice, imo.
