Last time I checked 2nd rounder >>>>>>> nothing.
Also Baertschi was refusing to re-sign with us so your level of patience is again irrelevant to the issue.

You appear to think I was engaged in some argument. I wasn't. I just wrote that it's frustrating that it wasn't possible to see through his development like some of these Detroit kids. The facts are what they are and I don't think the team has done anything wrong.
I think he would have done better if he had the attitude that he needs to patiently work on his game rather than worry about his situation all the time. My impression is that he wasted time by trying to find a quick way past that necessary work.
