Re: Baker vs. Player X

Perspective?  Let Obie play Vin the minutes he deserves (we've played nearly
half the season's games as pre-season, where Vin got little playing time,
and is still a backup.

Ideally, Vin should be starting on an unselfish team.  The fact that he's
not has more to do with Obie's Non-progressive integration program and
coddling of the captains.  He'll be outperforming Blount in another month,
on a daily basis.
