Also, besides being a proven two-way performer, Stith
is universally considered to be an excellent person and a 
superb role model in terms of attitude and work habits.
He's another important veteran influence.  Herren has 
got game and Upside.  Pack wasn't going to play at all;
Cheaney had no place on the team.  What is there to 
complain about with this trade?
