Vlads fangraphs page prospect section still refers to his hit tool as “messianic” which is inspired by the hope of belief in a messiah. Whiffed on that one.

 

Fangraphs don't change that s*** for some odd reason, this year is huge for him, and he's admitted as much too. I'll give him that, but we're waiting for that feature movie he was talking about.

This is not true at all. Cabrera gave us 2 gutsy innings v. the Yankees. It was 100% that we had to use Swanson to close the game and didn't have the elite fireman, Nate Pearson on the team to close when we knew Romano couldn't go B2B and Swanson 'obviously' wasn't ready for high leverage - because his AAA numbers sucked. Please try to keep up.

 

Bingo

So we are in agreement, but just arguing two different things. My post was in reference to "Pearson fanboys", which might have been a Term troll job, but still, I don't think there is a single Pearson fanboy on earth. Dude looks like a major bust. I don't think anyone was thinking he's a great reliever, just that he's better (or at least a more high upside guy to keep around) than Genesis is.

 

The thing that hurt the Yankees game was Green being injured, not the Pearson demotion.

 

Yes, your last sentence was the issue, can't do s*** about that.
