And you really don't think Cano has the ability to win a batting title? What, because he's off to a slow start this season?
He certainly has the phyisical ability, just not the plate discipline.

Melky hasn't shown you that he's a good young center fielder with tons of potential? He's shown about as much, maybe more than Jacoby and Gomez have. Hits well, plays good defense (although he may zig-zag from time to time out there), has a good arm, runs well, etc.
Dude, I know you have a hard-on for Melky, but if you can't see that Jacoby Ellsbury is a far superior player than I don't know what to tell you. Nothing I can say can convince you of anything at that point.

You accuse Sox fans of homerism and them throw out things like this, and then COMPLETELY DISREGARD the stats that prove Ellsbury is better.

Kennedy has similar stuff as Mike Mussina and could one day be up there.
JFC, one good start and all of a sudden he's a guy with 200+ wins.

If Hughes's performance this year is what you're basing that statement on, what about last year? Give him some time, he needs more than 19 Major League starts before we declare that he is a failure. I'm getting a whif of some good old-fashinoed anti-Yankee bias with this one.
Hughes last year - 5-3, 4.46 ERA. A good back of the rotation starter?

I'm not willing to write him off either, but he didn't exactly set the world on fire last year.
