I thought they did that because Dean was out of the line up - there is no way Dean is going up to 197 for the rest of the year! Even IF Palacio can't get down to 157 - I do not think that would mean Realbuto and Dean go up.
That just don't make Sense!
I watched the Mizzou/UB match and they kept talking about how disappointed the 23 fans in Buffalo were that Cox "did not make the trip" - if that is the case - it is moot where Dean goes - if Cox was left back in Columbia.
