This is something I have considered doing but eventually backed off from with certain players. And keeping a guy just so he can get a record (a la John Butler) is not how I mean that. Just curious about your thoughts

Especially for guys who were fully developed POT 15s or 16s, they can still perform at high levels even after declining a bit. I have yet to have a guy I thought was worth it, but "Prince" Josh Hastings might make it past 35 if he ages gracefully.

Had to drop him because he lost 7 SI and was not going to be good enough for LL III, but on lower levels you could surely milk one more year out of him. Too bad he retired right after I dropped him
