<t>Interesting thought, but I don't think it flies.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> You know that McCutchen would pretty much need to agree to it. Pirates would extend courtesy and run it by him.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> If he was that much interested in ring chasing it would've been unlikely that he would hav...

Fair assessment.



We have a good farm system. I say package guys and trade up. God forbid!



But, I have reason to be hesitant on that, too.

On the horizon.

<t>I will have a very difficult time believing that any suspects in the system and LMGs, current or future, will be any better than what we saw for three years beginning in 2013.  Even then, it was the additions of external talent who made their contributions.  <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> We'll see the ...

Surg,



I'm on your side.  But, how does one explain people just yesterday apologizing for having Hedges catching? 



Has to be one or the other, doesn't it?  Be smart and have Davis catch....or, the other.

<r>I like it when we win. <E>:)</E><br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> Anything that adds a little pizzaz is OK with me. It's OK for guys to celebrate a teammate doing something good, in my opinion, especially if they've been slumping. Whatever picks them up. Whatever gets fans into it. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> ...

<t>Having Davis as an outfielder makes about as much sense as if they made Roberto Clemente catch.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> If he's too raw to catch, then he should remain in the minors.  He's a grown man.  The pitchers are capable of adapting to him.  He's fully capable of catching.<br/> <br/> <br/> ...

If that Cardinal job opens up, and Maddon goes there or anywhere else, then he has reason to compliment the Pirates for what they do.



Call me skeptical, but I wont take "Mr. Plantar Fasciatis" for his word every time.

<t>To be fair, the mess has been a mess for a lot longer than that. The period of quality was the anomaly, not any norm.
