I think A.J. will do fine given the time he needs to develope. He unfortunately signed on with a team that is struggling. Give him a couple of years he’ll be up in the 12th to 15th slot regularly.

Not to overstate the obvious, but if the boy were in a Chevy, Ford or Dodge, he probably would be doing much better.

I have been trying to pay attention to AJ. I think once he gets some drive time under his belt he will season and do just fine.
