Jack is very good.
Look at the total chances. He's on the field a lot.

Oh, sure, there's definitely a shot. He's a great defensive player. But a lot of things could happen -- he could get hurt, he could suddenly turn error prone, someone else could start playing lights out short. Wait and see, I guess. I hope he plays well, since the Bucs will probably be relying on their D quite a bit during the upcoming season.

BBB, these things all start with a "Board Campaign" such as this...so I am in man...lets start the Buzz...heck every time one of the other guys makes an error, I am going to reach back for this post and point out the error...that should make the difference!...with that we an move him from 2nd to first...oh, and Lefty calling him one of the "cornerstones" of the team can't help...(just messing with you Lefty)...

Okay Gotham,

Let's get Jacko that Golden Glove. He just got all of his wisdom teeth pulled and so he is a couple of pounds lighter. Go easy on Lefty. He's just learnin'

By the way, Is there a Righty Noob.(for the conservatives on the board) Ha! Ha!

I think Wilson has a great chance at it. If he plays as tough as he has in the past, he will have a great shot. But of course it depends on what other SS do as well. It's a waiting game!
