Poor guy always does well all around, but gets screwed when it matters to him most. I feel bad for Raj. Poor guy always does well all around, but gets screwed when it matters to him most.

So he could still support Paul. However, my (very limited) calcs of alternate teams is not showing that Morgan should be left behind. Even averaging all his spotty performances and saying that's what you'll get, he still benefits the team on PH and on HB significantly, basically 0.4 better than the next guy on the team for each of those events.

Living in the shadow n' all. I think there is something to this during the selection. We'll have to see.

Replacing Spring with Sasha gives us almost 4 tenths improvement, even WITH Sasha's misses. There may be even better teams than that. This thing really is a tricky puzzle. However, we can say for sure (if you like my math and I do) that this team is not optimal. WRT Golden, I'm going to do a substitution analysis for him. http://gymblog.wordpress.com/2008/06/22/us-mens-team-is/#comments (disregard the first post) As shown on gymblog, this team is not the optimal one.
