But, deep down, I have this sick feeling that he's somehow not the same player that he was before he got injured last year. Let's face it, he wasn't exactly putting up sparkling numbers prior to his ankle sprain this year. <BR/><BR/>I really, really want to believe that he will soon re-emerge as the AK that enticed me to spend my first round draft choice to select him. But that belief is getting harder to sustain in the face of mounting evidence that he is seriously off his game.bublitchkinoreply@blogger.com
