Setoguchi experiment 2.0? I liked the theory of Setoguchi last year and defended it probably much longer than necessary. Disappointed it didn't work out though. If we took on Semin, if he didn't work, based on the lessons learned from last year, I would have no problems slotting a prospect over him. Makes for a great hurdle.
