[QUOTE="Bruce Wayne, post: 70544, member: 231"] I am having a hard time agreeing that his comments are more positive this year. I don't think they are [I]less [/I]positive but as I try and dredge the memory banks I tend to think that his comments are simply an honest response (even if sometimes calculated honesty) to the questions being asked and [I]how [/I]they are asked. I think almost by default if a question is couched to CPJ in a positive manner then he will respond [I]more [/I]negatively as in to minimize the optimism in the question. So if asked "it looks like Vad can really throw the ball well, what do you see?" he responds that Vad still has room for improvement and Justin Thomas also has a good arm. If the question implies something more critical such as Rod's in this interview "you are young on the ends, how do they look?" which suggests the concern of inexperience then CPJ immediately tries to counter than negative impression by saying that they have some guys there "who have played some" and "they have worked hard," and we will see in a game. So if he is asked more questions that [I]do not[/I] assume great things from player/s then his responses will more often be hedging against pessimism. [/QUOTE]
