Oh for sure. I wasn't debating his inclusion on this list (regardless of the criteria). Interesting how he has gone from Fran-coma to one of the most famous Red Sox.... I guess a couple of championships will do that for you!
Personally, I like him, I think he has done an incredible job. I guess he was dinged early on for his "lack of in-game strategy" (hence the Fran-coma nickname by some) but that doesn't really come into play that much in the AL.
