Would the evaluation be as heinous if he'd allowed him to play for a year under the tag? Cassel stinks up the place...you chuck two at him. Who'd be calling for Pioli's head under that scenario? Probably a precious few people.



In the ultimate sense, yes.
In every situation, no.

No GM is free of botched player assessments.



Intimate experience affords you a wider knowledge of a player, but it also increases the chance that you'll have an attachment to said player. An attachment that may affect how you evaluate him.

That said, we'll have to agree to disagree.
Always a pleasure, Mr. Fax.
Same.

EDIT: (I assume Pioli watched him in practice, too. For years.)
