I’ve actually never been as big of a critic of Stone as many others because in general I don’t see a lot of what many of his detractors do.
His underlying number may be bad but he has never been a major liability in my eyes so my initial disappointment was more to do with Nesterov not being replaced by Valimaki in the lineup.
After thinking about it more and reading all the comments I’m more understanding and I do believe this will light a fire in Valimaki so it could only be a good thing as Valimaki is extremely vocal about how high his expectations are of himself.
Dube is a bit of a different story but hopefully this has a positive impact on both and they earn their way back into the lineup in short order.
