Of course not.

And talent doesn't equate to being the best in the end anyway.

Talent is nothing but unrefined ability, and anybody who disputes Chapman's ability, is probably a Red Sox fan

but questioning WMB's makes you a fucking genius

and no.......i am not comparing careers here

Wanting to be a closer means you are a failed starter

Papelbon = failed starter

Blah blah blah...

Reds fan... homerism...

"most talented in baseball"


blah blah.. Reds homersim..


I don't think throwing hard is the end all be all to "talent"

Give me a pitcher like Buchholz or Darvish who have 4 or 5 "plus" pitches that he can throw for strikes any time over a guy who throws hard..

That's "talent"...

You know who looks good at Pawtucket? - former Mariners reject Ryan Rowland-Smith.


Sox should trade him for Cliff Lee and Dominator Brown.

In other news Iglesias is on pace to hit .437 this season.

0.0% of red sox fans think this anything more than a statistical aberration...

Doesn't mean we're not enjoying it while it lasts...but he's a .230 hitter at best, thinking anything more of his bat right now is just silly...

At this point in time?

Yeah. He's not worth shit. He's hitting .210 and on the DL.

That doesn't make me a genius. That makes me alive and coherent.

Cieling in his prime is a 4th starter at best...

Maturity and conditioning issues make even that a stretch...


Snuggles is over rating the ever loving shit out of him....he'd have some value to a smaller market team in that he'd be a viable low cost starting pitching option to fill out a rotation...but to the phillies? Not really.

Thus why I suggested a polished righty that throws 96 with a plus curve currently dominating AA would be a significant upgrade over him...

Last year at this time, you listed Doubront as the #1 most untouchable player on the Red Sox roster...


Now he's a #4 at best in his prime?




And I'm not saying he's going to be a #1 starter or anything. I'm simply saying that if anyone thinks the Red Sox are giving up more than him, WMB and a prospect for a 35 year old making way too much money, they're insane..

Well.. Felix and WMB do have shit for trade value right now

Regardless of how much you think they don't suck or will turn it around.
