I like your thinking and explanation but if Baer doesn't start, he will be among the first subs in.
I agree on Baer coming off the bench early. I just was putting out what positions I had each in. I think he will be the 6th or 7th man next year. But I want him or Jones in the starting lineup over Uhl as I have mellowed a lot on what he will be able to do. I think Baer is best off the bench and will be best off the bench for his career.
