I’m Happy the Bears got Steward, Baskerville and Moore back. I thought Moore kind of got a raw deal and that he was better than Hicks. Not sure what they see in Hicks but so be it. I knew Reed would be back and I’m just curious what will happen to Rypien. I wonder if he eventually makes it back but I guess I’m not hoping for that because it would mean something bad happened. Again I have zero idea why we need Homer or Blasingame but I guess it could have been worse than it is.
