In fact, they've done so well that they've made McClatchy and his crowd look that much worse than I even thought they were. <BR/><BR/>Those guys not only couldn't evaluate baseball talent, they couldn't even hire competent scouts, managers, pitching or batting coaches. In short, the same incompetency that ruined so many drafts was carried over (naturally) into every other aspect of baseball. And why not? If a person's not smart at algebra, do you think he'll excell in physics? Doubtful. Those guys just had no baseball aptitude. Period.<BR/><BR/>While I haven't been a fan of Pirates ownership for many, many years, the hirings of their new president and g.m. may go down as their most astute business move since they last won the pennant in 1979 (only 29 years ago).<BR/><BR/>I know, I know, it's still early. All I'm saying is that they've already strung together more good moves than I can remember taking place in a long time.ManBearPighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06989112636237946563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-43329011232556884952008-06-06T11:37:00.000-04:002008-06-06T11:37:00.000-04:00They're wasting their time.

While it would have been very easy to come here and trade everyone away this past winter, Neal-o's patience is going to net the Bucs a much nicer haul at the trade deadline. Add in the fact that the little moves he's made have more than worked out too.HotDog_Zanzabarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17232504684195718341noreply@blogger.com
