Seems to be AA's MO: "Well we think (insert name(s) here) did great during the final month of the season so we're excited to see what they can do next year." or conversely: "Well, we think (insert name(s) here) might have struggled a bit in the end of the year but it's a small sample so let's do nothing and let them play 2/3 of the next season s***** and then I might admit it's not working and replace (same name(s) here) with a AAAA waiver claim."
