If anything, Green is the one being gifted going North. I stood by Lasting's last year and took a lot of heat from the bloggers, but at his age he is going to prove me right. Just wait...

Does Lastings go down? If not, then who? The real question then becomes, what happens when pelfrey comes up in mid-April (1st need for a 5th starter)?? Does Lastings go down? If not, then who?
