I've stopped worrying about the 16th man problem. At this point, I'm more interested in the variety of fascinating stories likely to play out in camp. Some are individual, some are group dynamics, and some are coach issues. Until at least a few of these develop, it seems foolish to rush into shrinking the roster. While I know Ainge will have his ear to the rails for that home-run trade, I think we will now see another of his strengths, patience.
We've waited for three years to see how an in-shape Sullinger could alter his game.
