Exactly. The pressure was on Backlund and he's developed into a solid 2c and a really good 3c IMO. Hartley doesn't only demand the best from his players, he gets it. I just don't think Wotherspoon has excelled enough to grab a spot. Not to say that he won't but the fact that he's being passed by others just shows that Hartley and co. are practicing what they preach. Hard work and results get rewarded.

I think Wotherspoon will be a solid 4-6 in the future but this year I think he has a lot of work to do.
