I said it already, his quality of writing is good.... not great. I can't put a finger on why I don't like him as a journalist, I just don't. The red sox homerism, trade rumors preached as the truth because of "name value", and reports that are "mailed in" due to name recogintion. It seems as if he is put out there by ESPN to speak the truth like Moses speaking the ten commandments. "When Gammons speaks, you will listen and take as the truth because he has credibiltiy....."
Great writer in the past? Yeah, absolutely but the television era has put the "media" out there more and he hasn't been good for awhile now.
Yeah, I might be one of the few that don't care for his style, oh well.
