Yeah, that's how I feel, which is why I suggested making him the full-time CFer.
It'd be like getting a weak-hitting/strong fielding SS....you're getting plus defense at an important, up-the-middle-position, and any offense that player may generate is a bonus.
The difference between that fictional SS and Pie is that there is a 50/50 chance that Pie could become a offensive <i>force</i>, instead of a hinderance.
(or maybe it's only a 1-in-3 chance, but at least there's a legit <i>chanc</i>e.)

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
