I can't read Kent Wilson's stuff. What is he saying exactly......Treliving should have kept him because he was a cheap out of the money option? Essentially you get what you see which wasn't bad PLUS almost free upside?

I guess that is true but the problem is if he signed him 1) you keep him on the big club and he takes a spot from another guy you like more or 2) you play the waiver game and lose him on waivers for nothing if someone else sees the upside option value. So he got a little something for him instead.
