Re: Off Season Roster Discussion

Let's get Trevor Bauer. I know he has a bad reputation that many of us don't like but we need to ignore that since he has been exonerated and he will come rather cheap on an incentive-laden contract for a year or two. If his performance does not work out then you cut him. He a better pitcher than D...

Re: Off Season Roster Discussio

It seems to be coming more into focus that the Pirates are not planning to compete this season, that we’re about to endure one more season of rebuilding. Why else would BC not make it a priority to sign a high end starting pitcher? It’s the team’s greatest need? The money’s certainly available what ...

Re: Off Season Roster Discussion

Trevor Bauer has stated that he is willing to play for the league minimum. He would like incentive clauses if teams were willing to add those. If ever there was a cheap high reward pitcher the Pirates should sign immediately it is Bauer. The guy was screwed by MLB and was never found guilty. If he ...

Re: The Departed

McBean went the distance while giving up 13 hits. That would never happen today. I wonder how many pitches he threw? Maybe not so many for that era, around 138. Someone came up with a formula to estimate pitches: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_pitch_count_estimator I'd love to have an accura...

Re: Off Season Roster Discussion

I can only imagine what he might be thinking if he signs in Pittsburgh, and the "Cueto" chants start. I see the Royals, who call major metropolis Kansas City home, can agree to a major contract for a young, proven star for better than $26 million per season over the next 11 years. So the ...

Re: Off Season Roster Discussion

Yes, Davis can only do what he can do. His resume of being #1 draft pick doesn't help him play ball any better. He has to be used to the best of his ability, whatever that may be. The problem is that the Pirates count on building from within and treasure the opportunity to add #1 overall talent. So...
