I say go all or nothing. Don't middle it. Give him enough rope to hang himself if it doesn't work out.
I will say that I think Beane has plenty of power in this organization.
Understatement of the century.
Definitely a kid to keep an eye on. McD clearly embrasses that "walk-on" mentality. And all the kids from Bama should be watched closely. Daboll saw them everyday and he knows what NFL talent looks like.
It obviously wasn't a great decision, but the game plan was clearly going to heavily involve Benjamin. If he doesn't go down on the first series the game goes differently.
