I know Cubans who defect tend to be rolls of the dice, but imagine the message that would send to the fan base if we nabbed one of the "best pitchers in the world" according to the report I heard on SportsCenter.<br /><br />I know the Yankees are after him, which means nobody else except Boston, Anaheim, or the Mets will probably even come close to signing him, but he'd likely be an upgrade over Ankiel or Grabow, so I just wanted to start a conversation on this topic, even though there probably is not one to be had. <br /><br />I'm just a 24 year-old who can't remember the Pirates ever being any good.Papa Eohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12769247898632168511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-26122354704732153892009-09-22T08:44:12.281-04:002009-09-22T08:44:12.281-04:00Where is the guy who told me I didn't know any...Where is the guy who told me I didn't know anything about baseball because I ripped Huntington's comment regarding left handed relief specialists being overrated? <br /><br />Well, now St. Neil is trying to acquire Grabow or someone in his mold for that once extremely overrated position.BurressWithButterflywingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12466557816631165674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-65455037960188672162009-09-22T07:42:04.265-04:002009-09-22T07:42:04.265-04:00"If the Pirates were smart..."?

They could let him pitch every three days and set the record for most games pitched a year. The pitching would be no worse than they already have. Wakefield is a remnant from when the team wasn't terrible and a few fans might still have a soft spot for him.<br /><br />They won't though. Maybe we can resign Rinku and Dinesh.EnsErmachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10840099119561003739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-88295548088333953552009-09-21T21:42:16.884-04:002009-09-21T21:42:16.884-04:00They tried the hitter-turned-pitcher route with JV...They tried the hitter-turned-pitcher route with JVB and that failed.
