>>177008 Fringe major leaguers?
Youkilis - Probably the best defensive first baseman in all of MLB, and not bad with the bat.
Pedroia - Good, solid second baseman. His height takes away the ability to get to some balls, but he tries to get to everything hit to the right side of the infield. In a slump right now, but a good hitter.
Masterson - Filled in pretty well this season. Would be a solid 3rd or 4th starter on pretty much any team with a full season under his belt.
Papelbon - One of the most dominant closers in the game.
Lester - A solid 4th or 5th starter. With better control, might even be a number 2 starter. Showed great poise in his World Series appearance and is getting stronger after beating cancer.
Hansen - Had maturity issues and also suffered from severe sleep apnea. Struggles a bit some times, but he is a young reliever and it's to be expected.
Delcarmen - A fucking enigma. Pitched out of his mind last year, and this year has had his share of trouble. Still, there are plenty of other MLB relievers that are doing worse.
Buchholz - Has the curveball and fastball to be a top of the rotation starter, but needs to get better with his changeup and maybe develop a 4th pitch, maybe a splitter or sinker.
Enjoy your 101 years of futility after you lose again this year.
