Well, pre-roids Bonds was still one of the best players of all time. Apparently Polanco = that.

nah, I haven't seen that level from Polanco yet. 

 

He's had a few nice games, but thats about it. Most of his time during his call up has been a disappointment.

Oscar Taveras is well on his way to being a bust as well.

Once AGAIN this season, Strasburg proves he's no ace. 

 

This pitcher is a complete joke. He gets knocked around on the frequency of an average 4th starter. 

 

I literally hate this guy.

As right as you were about Strasburg, you were equally as wrong about Victor Martinez. We'll call this a wash.

Bucs show signs of life, take 2 of 3 from Milwaukee. 3 big series in a row with two at home, Cards, Reds, then at Cards

Which proves the Pirates right for not bringing him up sooner like so many Pirates fans clamored for, me included. He started off hot, but cooled quickly after teams got a look at him and figured him out a bit. Needs a little more seasoning.

Imagine how the Pirates would feel had he signed that giant contract rumored to be offered to him upon his first few weeks of call up :woot:

Victor Martinez is currently the #11 overall on ESPN's Player Rater. TMD, remember our bet where you predicted he'd finish outside the top 72?

Very sweet play. That wouldn't even be the best play this season if the best defensive shortstop in the league didn't miss all season with an injury. The play below still makes me go "How.........?" every time I watch it.

It's a shame he had to miss the entire season because the baseball world is missing out on his wizardry at shortstop.
