He hardly played at all those first couple of weeks to start last season and it took McGee completely pooping the bed to get him out there. I don't know what we are getting from Holmes, but I bet its more than we got from McGee.
I agree with all of this. I think the complaints about Powell being the starter are knee jerk overreactions. He was re-signed to mostly help Lively figure out the PNR nuances, not to start. He's certainly not getting starter money. He'll play only to the extent he is better than the alternatives.
