Looks like my experience with John was a little different. I was almost getting frustated, thinking he just was trying to get out of the impending trade, because it took three weeks to finalize our "desired" lists. After that, though, it only took about a week to get the strikes. I believe it's just a matter of good timing when you catch him. He does seem to have an awful lot to do. He appeared to be a pretty nice guy, though.
