Ya certainly seems to be. The other thing I found interesting about what he said, was that they're planning to have him play his 9 games and evaluate at the 20 game mark. Which obviously means they plan to sit him occasionally if his game is off base or shows some decline.
Should be interesting to see how they go about it. Unless he shows otherwise I'm guessing he will play his 9 within the first 15 or less and will stay with the big club.
