Did the Pirates have a good 2010 in terms of talent acquisition? According to Baseball America's new rankings of the team's top 10 prospects, the answer to that question would be a big "YES".
For those of you who've complained that the Pirates have one LaRoche too many, your troubles just got doubled, for the Pirates appear to have just traded Jason Bay to the Boston Red Sox in a three team deal that nets the Buccos Los Angeles 3B Andy LaRoche and Class-A RHP Bryan Morris, as well as Boston RF Brandon Moss and right-handed reliever Craig Hansen. The Dodgers get human question mark/RBI machine Manny Ramirez.
