I second the nomination! Then if shed looked at the PG article there seems to be some method to BC's move. I wish that this thread had some method to it's madness other than playing armchair GM with monopoly money!

Once again, thank you Ben Cherington for not signing these well-below average players, as even Shed has rated them, and making the Pirates worse than they already are.

Here are the top 11 excuses and alibis for not acquiring a player.
1. He is an aging veteran on the decline.
2. He is too injury prone.
3. Acquiring him would bring us no closer to a championship.
4. He would never sign to play in Pittsburgh.
5. He would be a clubhouse cancer.
6. Acquiring him would upset the team chemistry.
7. Signing him would lose financial flexibility for a 1 year player.
8.We already have players just as good as him.
9. We are not the Red Sox or Yankees and they would outbid us.
10.He would block this LMG or that LMG from development.
11.He can't do anything because of Covid.
That would be #8.

Let me amend #8 for you here in 2021: "We already have players just as bad as him."
I find it interesting that you want to sign guys who would take the club from being one that won 32 percent of its games a year ago to one that would win 36 percent of its games in 2021. I thought you wanted to win a World Series title. At your rate of improvement, neither of us will be on this side of the dirt when it happens. Some fan you are.
