I'm curious what people think Whaley could tell them that would make it "ok" for them? You want him to go through all the issues with Fred? You want them to dissect the guy? That doesn't make any sense. I mean, unless, you just want them to say something so you can pick it apart.
We all know the issues with Fred and most of us would love to have him on the team because of his work hard attitude. There's no point talking about how he's slowed down and the injury concerns. Let's just celebrate his career here and move on.
