I also consider the text PBP to be king over the 3D. What did the PBP say? If the guy was dogging it in the text then I would agree to benching the guy if it becomes an issue. Even though I know the AI doesn't know why I'm benching it or yanking it from the the game, it just makes me feel better as a manager. Now if I'm the GM and manager, I'm questioning why I signed the guy if he's a slacker.
