Yeah. I posted in another thread on this topic that Broaddus indicated the scouts were very high on Waters then, too, and that the hold up might have had something to do with Hudson Houck. Either way, they blew it. I thought they may have done the same thing with Clabo this year, though it appears that they might have made the right call there.
I don't mind playing with Leary and Mack as starters, so much, but we've got to have a better swing option on the roster than Arkin's been able to demonstrate so far. If Killer had shown any signs of staying healthy that would be one thing. As it is now, our best option to an OG injury is to slide Costa in and move Frederick to G. That's a pretty good third option to have, but it's too thin to go in with just that plan.
Maybe Arkin will continue to perform well the rest of the preseason. I'd love it if I thought he could be even a short-term starter for us, but I'm not holding my breath. The other option is to hope a decent Dockery-type player shakes loose in the cutdowns, or that we can trade a player at a deeper position for one. Realistically, I'd like that player to be a heck of a lot better than Dockery was by the time we got our hands on him.
