Well, I haven’t really thought it through completely, but I’m not sure, given the issues with the apron currently, having three guys to pay next year without being sure which ones you want is exactly where you want to be. All I’m saying is that if you aren’t sure by now that Hardy has a role here, I can understand the pragmatism of getting ahead of that.
I have very consistently said that I am ready to give him a role, more so than most. And, I think Grimes would overlap with Green much, much more than he would with Hardy. I was just trying to answer Dan’s question, and I do think the idea that Hardy will be much more expensive expensive in the near future probably does factor into the thinking.
