Right. It also proves that other teams make the same exact moves too.
When the Pirates do it, it's stupid and cost saving.
Other teams do it, they are so smart and the Pirates are too cheap to add a player.
Just can't win.
I think the issue is not that other teams make these kinds of moves too. Of course they do. All teams do. The issue is that these kinds of moves are not the primary strategy of other teams like they are with the Pirates. Kudos to the Bucs for acquiring a legit player like Dickerson. But I think we were all surprised because it was so different from the dumpster-type acquisitions they generally rely on to improve the team.
What dumpster dives were expected to make impacts for the Pirates?
I'm just fair in my criticism of the team. Every team has a Smoker. Every team brings in a Brentz. I don't criticize common moves that happen every year by every team.
