I know what you said about your conversation with the scout, but if boldt doesn't show a pulse soon I'm guessing he is costing himself a ton of money (which he knows, which is likely why he is playing so bad--a vicious cycle)

I'm sure if he keeps heading that direction it could affect it but who knows. I have a hard time believing he won't figure it out and get back on track. Most scouts are probably assuming the same thing.
