Nice to see him, in only 53 games, hit career highs in hits and shot-blocking. Torts seems to have helped develop his game.

You saw torts riding him during 24/7 and he obviously earned his seal of approval as slats nevers gives him a 2 yr deal otherwise.
The guy has always had talent and now torts has him playing a really solid all around game.he was very good providing offense from the back end and now with reports that saucer may be ready for training camp and a back to himself Staal who wasn't 100 even when he came back 1/2 way through where he never quite got his timing and conditioning back but those 2 make this. Top 6 worlds better then last season.
DelZotto rebounded to be a 21 yr old 40 pt 2way dman who will be even better this with another yr and deep playoff run under his belt
