I think Matty is a star under any manager but his relationship with Mac could not have hurt.

On another note, sure fire HOFer's in the minors sometimes are busts. And some superstars don't hit their stride for a few years. Mantle does come to mind.

I've seen minor leaaguer with more talent in their little finger than I had in my whole body never hit over .240 in Triple A. And I've seen guys with less talent and great heart make it.

As for berating Peter, I don't think that's fair and is uncalled for. He's just trying to be a part of it all and brings up some interesting and sometime amusing posts.
