Is Contreras a Bust?

 

Serious question.

 

It's so strange with him. Overall, especially with the Yankees, you would probably consider him a bust. However, he was the ace on a World Series Championship team.

Thank you for the response. It's very similar to how I feel.

I actually think he's had a respectable career.

Respectable, yes. But within the context of the surrounding hype?

 

I'm not trying to start anything here. I just expected him to be something that he has never become I guess.

His career ERA+ is 100, so, by definition, he's been average. But like you said Spudboy, coupled with the hype, he's been a disappointment.

It happens.

 

Look at Kaz Matsui, for instance, he's been a serviceable ballplayer, but he came here with GG, 30-HR, 100 RBI SS hype, even displacing Jose Reyes from SS.

 

Look how that turned out.

Well this is not good.

 

Never the less, I am interested to see what kind of response Kotsay will get if he enters the game tonight.

 

I like the guy.
