Nobody knows what's going to happen to Hunter. The guy was a 56th pick and
Eggy's right in her assessment as is Kim - I think it was Kim - when she
writes that the team simply might be trying to sign a better player. Nobody
really knows what's going on behind the scenes. I just want to add a few
things to JB's post. As always, JB, a brilliant post but:

I don't assume the kid's been written off the roster. I assume nothing. I've
never seen him play. I only know what I read. I read...and I learn.
