You have great baseball smarts. Anytime someone argues with you, you have a valid argument and reason to show why they are wrong. You've earned my respect as a writer for B/R.

You've earned my respect as a writer on BR. I completely agree with your assessment of the Papelbon signing. Congrats on your baby boy.

bleacher report articles about the teams i love usually make me furious, but your breakdown of the platoon situation for the red sox actually made me look at the team differently (which is rare, since i usually assume I know everything about everything). awesome article, very well done.

You are such a great writer Matt, it's your type of slideshows I'm looking for when I log onto to the Bleacher Report.

Thank for the great articles Matt!
