ESPN did a story on the biggest remaining hole and a solution for (almost) all 30 teams and would you believe they said the biggest hole for the Pirates is the ownership. Shocking!

Bob has lots of money but apparently little pride.
On another ESPN note, I see Mark Appel is hanging up the cleats for at least a bit. http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/2228 ... y-baseball

If Mark Appel doesn't return, he will be the third overall pick to never make it to the majors.
That 2013 draft seems pretty bad overall. Bryant and Judge are very good, but not much after them.

Who did the Bucs draft with the compensatory pick for Appel?

Austin Meadows
* I should mention Bellinger was in that 2013 draft too. He was a 4th rounder.

I can look, but I thought it was McGuire?

Dog, you were correct it was Meadows drafted with the 9th pick as a compensation pick for not signing Appel in 2012.

That is awesome!
The more negative national attention on Nutting the better

I know what you meant: Appel would be the third guy who was drafted first overall, to never play in the majors.
Mets chose first overall in 1966, and adhering to the infatuation at that time of how valuable lefthanded-hitting catchers were supposed to be, chose Steve Chilcott. Two reasons Chilcott never reached the majors: First, a lefthanded-hitting catcher needs to be able to HIT, he didn't. Second, he injured his shoulder, never completely healed, released from AA ball in 1972.
With the first overall pick in 1991, Yankees drafted Brien Taylor. Hired Scott Boras as his agent, held out for more money, refused to play in the winter instructional league, then permanently blew out his shoulder trying (unsuccessfully) to kick the ass of some guy who earlier kicked Taylor's brother's ass.
Now Appel. After being designated for assignment last year and receiving zero non-roster invitations to 2018 spring training, Appel decided to "step away" from the game, as God has other plans for him.
