I agree wholeheartedly. I've been wondering when someone would put it like that. I think the scouting staff has been given the mandate to draft players with character these days, and we are starting to see the results. Sven might make it as a complimentary player, but you can't have too many guys like that in your organization if you want to build a winner. We are talking about the best league in the world-its a dream of millions of kids to make it to that level. If your entire career can be completely derailed by a few criticisms, then IMO you lack the kind of character we are looking for.
