As has been pointed out, Jeffcoat has to also accept going on the 1-game IR. Why would he do that if he isn't actually hurt? So that the brass can prevent a poach? Call me a skeptic.
It's very easy to believe that Jeffcoat is hurt and needs rest, it's been his reputation all along. Haba didn't go from so dispensable he has to watch from the PR to so valuable we bench an All-Star to retain him. Jeffcoat is hurt, Haba is the next man up. Simple as that.
