I wouldn't say Patterson is a bust, unless we're going by expectations...

I mean, he has had some really good seasons, some meh seasons, and some awful seasons. He's a hit or miss. I would say a bust is one who doesn't ever make a positive impact in the MLB, something that Patterson has done.

Patterson was made out to be an all star every year.

he is a bust.

that is all.

What else was he supposed to be then?

Why would we have wanted him to just be a normal player?

cmon now.

No, that's not my point at all. We don't want anyone to be an average or normal player. My point is that very few players live up to expectations, so we really shouldn't decided if they are a bust based on their expectations.

that is a prime definition of a bust.

thanks for typing that.

That is exactly what he said.

Not living up to expectations = a bust. If he was expected to be an ace and isn't an ace, that's a bust.

you are bringing up an example of a supposed number 1 ace being a number 2 out of the air. pawlleeese. you know exactly what he is trying to say.

isnt it time you say "prove me wrong"????

:rolleyes:
