Avery - we needed speed and game experience, reliability be damned, that's what his signing was.
Jenkins - he was more of a lets take a shot at greatness for nothing proposition, a likely longer term experiment depending on how he looked in limited duty... and he's looked pretty damn good I must say, he's a darkhorse no doubt.
But finally, what so many of us want is not only a top dog rookie to groom, but skillful VETERAN free agent to ease that transition, make sure we're not just "getting by" at that position while the rook learns the ropes.
