Re: Jones for my Mittelstadt REP
I'm hardly impartial here as a Mittelstadt owner myself...but I think I stand pat.
Jones' hold on the SJ starter job is getting tested by Dell.
And SJ's getting a bit long in the tooth at some important positions with no obvious succession plan (read: who's gonna replace Thornton/Pavelski/Burns' production when they go). How that plays out for Jones is anyone's guess.
Whereas Mittelstadt still has some shine to his pedigree. Having said that, we may not see him play in the bigs for another year or two.
Just seems to me that the wait on Mittelstadt is a safer play than rolling the dice that SJ can continue to avoid Father Time.
