I tend to agree and disagree with your thoughts. I agree that we haven't really aquired much in the trades that were made. But, that being said, outside of Bay who was gonna bring in impact players in a deal. Tabata and Karstens (I think) for Nady and Marte seems like a win to me in the sense that we got better talent than what we gave away. The Morgan for Milledge seems to be an upgrade considering they are essentially the same type of player but Lastings is much younger. But the Bay and Mclouth deals seem to be failures. Iwamura for Chavez was an instant upgrade for the team. So as far as trades go I'm still on the fence. Morris might still save the Bay deal and Grossman might still make the Mclouth deal look good. I guess in my mind I thought it would take about 5 years to right this ship so I still have hope for next year and the year after. But, after that he shouldn't be given any more rope.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01281715835619041477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-11283151514891953872010-04-23T13:08:26.262-04:002010-04-23T13:08:26.262-04:00There was a 12 year old girl in the news recently ...There was a 12 year old girl in the news recently who has been throwing no-hitters.

And I u...Isn't this NH's third year as GM?<br /><br />And I understand his common explanation for the team's incompetence is "all our best prospects are in A ball!"<br /><br />But his talent evaluation skills seem to be really really bad. Have ANY of his trades produced ANY useful players so far? I guess Milledge and LaRoche aren't horrible but they aren't really particularly good either. Every other MLB level player he's acquired has sucked. Especially the pitchers. <br /><br />If he can't acquire decent major league level guys in trades, why do people think he's some genius at recognizing future stars at the A ball level?Chiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08455500623143287689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-3374179023836213192010-04-23T12:50:57.521-04:002010-04-23T12:50:57.521-04:00Although they have virtually no hope as long as Nu...Although they have virtually no hope as long as Nutting owns them, the contract situation with NH I do find interesting. <br /><br />I also wonder how many of those posters on the 'PBC Blog' are actual employees of the Pirates.BURGH08https://www.blogger.com/profile/04977580975300029584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-47076829573098213292010-04-23T10:47:04.316-04:002010-04-23T10:47:04.316-04:00All i can say is: Nice Simpson's reference in ...All i can say is: Nice Simpson's reference in the title!!!<br /><br />Nothing further.HomeRunFromBehindTheMeatballshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09153804542539188315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-34843016558314549942010-04-23T10:26:04.316-04:002010-04-23T10:26:04.316-04:00Chip, I wish you could fire the owner.Chip, I wish you could fire the owner.Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01675582850609086006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-60355678667040957712010-04-23T10:24:00.324-04:002010-04-23T10:24:00.324-04:00@ Chip

It's one thing to put a bunch of guys who are decent major league talent out there who work hard and play smart, because that can lead to wins. <br /><br />There are simply not many guys who would even be on major league rosters, let along being everyday players anywhere else. <br /><br />We have 3 SP's who would be middle to end of the rotation guys anywhere else. Andy Mac is the only position player you could make a case for as legitimate starter for other teams. <br /><br />Milledge, Cedeno, Iwomura, Jones,Doumit, and LaRoche would be bench players and Clement wouldn't even be on an MLB roster. <br /><br />These guys are abysmal.BurressWithButterflywingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12466557816631165674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-13720416386756303812010-04-23T07:38:58.238-04:002010-04-23T07:38:58.238-04:00I'm surprised the android Russell actually cri...I'm surprised the android Russell actually criticised his team. Isn't that grounds for removal in the Nutting cult. I thought I'd hear something like: "I'm proud of they way we battled" and "We pitched well enough, just couldn't find our groove".<br /><br />Seriously though, If the Pirates were going to set a record for the worse loss ever, this would be the year to do it. There is simply no limit to what this team "can't" do.<br /><br />Why get rid of Huntington or Russell?
