I never said they sucked, i said they need to improve to live up to their billing.

You remind me of some of my Facebook friends.
Let's break down Alex Gordon.
Defense: Four Gold Gloves, a Platinum Glove & Three Fielding Bible Awards. Has plus speed, takes incredible reads and runs the best routes in the majors. His arm alone has saved countless runs over the last four years and from 2012-2014 he put together three of the best defensive years in Major League
History.
Offense: 7th highest offensive WAR in Royals history, projects to retire with the 4th highest offensive WAR in team history.
Overall: World Series Champion, 2x Pennant Winner. Gordon could end up with the 2nd highest overall WAR in Royals baseball history, behind only, you guessed it, George Brett. If you're still disappointed in Gordon's production, you're one of the most confusing sports fans I've ever met in my life.
In ten years, #4 is going to be hanging up with #5, #10, #20 and #42.
