My thinking has always been Pioli picked Cassel because he was a known commodity (to him) and that in rebuilding a team at this point in time Cassel makes more sense then going with a rookie.

In the end Pioli is using Cassel as a patch while building the team from the line out. He's hedging his bets Cassel will fill a need long enough to fix our deeper other problems.
