<t>I think the Pirates are messing with my mental status....<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> Now they are in on Quintana, how much isn't exactly clear.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> Rotation of Cole, Taillon, Quintana, Kuhl, and Hutchinson? I can live with that.....my only issue is does this put us in a good win no...

barring a significant trade of our prospects for a decent pitcher, I highly doubt the playoffs are realistic. We just don't match up well any longer to these top teams. There are no FA guys out there that can plug in at #2-#3 besides T. Ross and he's hurt now.

Im sure they'll spend $6m on him instead of paying Cutch...nothing would surprise me. Since the 2015 offseason, i think they have taken steps back, including my sanity.

<t>latest bizarre trades:<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> Liriano, H. Ramirez, & R. McGuire<br/> <br/> for <br/> <br/> D. Hutchinson = Salary Dump<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> N. Walker<br/> <br/> for <br/> <br/> J. Niese = Salary Dump<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> I. Nova (a few months of him)<br/> <br/> for<br/> <b...

basically, anything we think of, the Pirates usually don't, thus why we are not the GM. It makes you wonder if they actually engage in on some of these guys.....I honestly run my fantasy baseball team better than NH runs the Pirates and I have a fixed budget too lol.

That seems pretty good haul for him, I would be interested in seeing what the Pirates can get for Watson. I hope they keep him, but that's an interesting return.

<t>with all this talk today about Cutch, is it realistic to get Robles, Ross and Taylor?<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> What if they want Watson? Who else would we get?

Cutch for Joe Ross and a few lower level minors guys with high upside....solves the pitching issue and they can plug Giolito in their rotation.

<t>I don't know how you can believe anything about the Pirates rumors....one reporter says they never engaged with S-Rod, another says they tried trading J-Hay to start S-Rod....either way, very rarely do any rumors pop up about the Pirates that are true. Its usually a tight lipped thing and it can ...

Turner, Reyaldo Lopez and Spencer Kieboom....
