Yawn.  YABLWS  (Yet Another Big Low Will Striker)  I would take 2 from WL
and put into DF.  Go with either 10 ST 10 WL, or 11 ST 9 WL.    I
wouldn't go LU, BA, or SL with this guy, his WL is just too damn low.
Good low WL styles are ST,  AB, PR, PS (in approximately that order)
This guy's CN is too low for the others, probably.  On the other hand, he
may do so much damage that  his endurance is irrelevant.  Still I would
go ST, it will help with the _really_ scummy guys.  Could be a really
good one.  As for 10-10 vs 11-9, (ST-WL), I dunno.  When in doubt, go WL.
 The best reason I can think of to go 11 ST, is that it's slightly closer
to WH.  Don't really matter, though, SC is all you need...  (And BS is
fine with a 10 ST.)

So: 10-6-17-17-10-9-15  ST.  Pretty Solid.  Of course, I can never get ST
to win... (But I don't get SZ 17 ones either...)
