I'm pretty sure there was an article last offseason that basically had AJ saying that he would not mentor his replacement.
As to the preference of some posters on this board to keep aging/declining (sometimes flat-out bad) players in starting positions over potential younger replacements, I swear some of you would welcome back Carlton Fisk as the 2012 starting CF.
That's a little unrealistic. He'd be a corner OF since he has experience doing that.
