"Never boring" is an understatement. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I’ve always been a friend of Juan Uribe. “Never boring” is an understatement.

I like Floyd a little more, he just has that dominant feel. Kind of how aj burnett despite a bad era can at times just completely shut you down. Ok that makes sense.

Danks is a No. 2 in performance, No. 3 in endurance. At least I think that's a fair statement. I don't know if you can pin it on Walker, because he never had a season like he did in 2004 at that time, and Walker was on hand for it. I'm curious about whether he's brought back the toe-tap, though. I just meant he was a No. 3 on the Sox, depending on how you feel about Floyd and his ability to make starts look easier more often.

I hope its not because the sox are out of the race and its more the effect of playing the position consistently and having ozzie and joey in his ear about not being lazy. Uribe is more then likely benefitting from terrible NL pitching, but its curious for the Walker haters that his best year with the sox is his first year, then the first year he leaves he is back on track... odd @Jim, Im still in shock over this John Danks being a 3. Maybe its a semantics game, maybe you are saying he is a 3 on a championship level team which I completely agree with, but I would love to hear the 60 pitchers you rank ahead of him if you dont consider him a league wide number 2.
