Throwing bad money after bad money is not going to improve the Pirates SS troubles. Signing an inadequate player for $1.5 million to breath down the neck of another inadequate player is pointless unless your a team that has nothing better to do with that money. I'd rather they invested it in some useless Iranian pitching prospects. What it comes down too is the Pirates hadn't traded away a decent SS, this wouldn't be an issue in the first place.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14645147302738910500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-66709721276426081592009-12-09T13:54:20.342-05:002009-12-09T13:54:20.342-05:00Steve: Except for the fact that Crosby is the only...Steve: Except for the fact that Crosby is the only MLB starter at SS available in this year's free agent market, and that before they targeted him, they were pushing for Adam Everett who stayed with Detroit instead.<br /><br />But yeah.

Meaning: if his name was Butch Dungherder he would have been passed on, which again means: Pirates signings are simply a more expensive (or cheaper, depending on how you look at it) version of the tried and proven bobblehead/fireworks thing. You just know if there was a 30-year old AA hack named Roy Paul Amalu, or Ken Rothlisburger they'd be Pirates faster than you can say "snake oil salesmen".Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14645147302738910500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-68951288274288583102009-12-08T21:56:19.652-05:002009-12-08T21:56:19.652-05:00What does this do to Ramon Vasquez?
