which is to say Rudy's been a huge part of why we look good to start the year, and its hard to imagine trades he's involved in actually making us better.
Now long run? Maybe. Depending on trade. This system may be perfect for Rudy, but he's never remotely been a 25+ PER guy. In fact it will be a career year if he stays above 20. So he'll come to Earth. But right now, much as the toughminded veteran depth is what's jumping out, if Rudy weren't high-level Robining we would have problems scoring and wouldn't look nearly so good.
