Last year he was doing fine at OC, but DLP blew everything up.

Now we see that DLP over Tennant wasn't a knock on Tennant, it was DLP earning the nod.

I think the staff is still high on Tennant, they just found a surprise diamond in the rough with DLP.

I'd be glad if that was the case, but with a week of Training Camp with Tennant, FO went out and signed Kreutz; so was it a question of not being ready or is there a ceiling there for the BC Center?

That's exactly what I was thinking also after they went for Kreutz, and when DLP won the center role over him when Kreutz got injured and later retired.

Hopefully just insurance. The fact that they let Kreutz quit after a few games tells me they were comfortable with not only De La Puente but with Tennant as a back-up as well.
