Salfino is short-sighted....

No one really knows what kind of numbers TJ could have put up or how healthy he’d be through a grueling season. But there are intangibles at play. There’s the work ethic and team leadership just to name a couple. And even though the market may be deep in running backs (not as sure as Salfino is), someone new would need to learn the system. A running back who needs to catch on to a new system would ultimately make it harder for Sanchez as well by putting more pressure on him.
