Harrison wants out anyway. The Pirates have Moroff and Frazier to play 2B. It will probably make decisions easier.


LOL. Pretty funny, as Tampa Bay has designated Dickerson to save money.

Sounds like Baltimore is looking for a left handed bat. I believe if the amount of days pass in which he is designed for assignment, Dickerson would then pass through waivers and Baltimore as an American League team would have the first chance to make a claim before any team in the NL.

most likely, if the Bucs want him they will need to deal for him. But it shouldn't take much.

UMMM ... Frazier is probably playing in the OF due to our FO failures to acquire an adequate OF.



If you are trading Harrison, try getting a longer term option that can help. I have see teams interested in Hunter Renfroe. Easy deal there.

If Harrison is traded for an outfielder, that leaves 2B open. Second base is a position that Frazier plays as well. A longer term option might not be needed in the outfield with guys like Luplow and Meadows in the system.

If Harrison isn't traded, Frazier is in the OF. If he is, Frazier is at 2B. Not hard to comprehend. I would take Renfroe over Ludlow without question. Do you know if Meadows is going to amount to anything? Nope. Again, Neal ... your logic goes with the owner.

Again, I comprehend where Frazier will go if Harrison is on the team. You brought that up, sorry for explaining it to you if you already knew the answer.



I don't know what Meadows will do in the future. What is my logic now? So, we shouldn't plan for players to come up to the big leagues? That is an owner thought process now?



Do you see the Pirates signing or trading for a long term solution for the outfield? They haven't done it yet, but you think they will before the season starts? Why do you think this?



You tell me all the time that the Pirates don't make trades or sign players. But when I say I think they won't do this, I am wrong?



When you disagree with every single thing I post, it makes your points so confusing and all over the place.

So you want to send them a player that makes more, and is older? Didn't they just dump Dickerson and his salary, but you want them to take on JHAY and his 10M salary? Makes sense. By the way there isn't anyway the Pirates are going to eat salary.

Yes, I want it to happen. The Pirates ate salary for McCutchen. They can eat enough to keep the payroll the same and it will still be cheaper for the Rays.



Wanting something and thinking it will actually happen are different. But to answer your question, I do want to trade Harrison for an outfielder. I've been preaching that since the Cole return did not bring back a major league ready outfielder.

Dog, you are not unique in your belief that Frazier is a better fit at 2B than LF. However, I disagree. I think Frazier did a decent job in the OF last season - better than he has shown as an INF - and I think he would make an ideal 4th OF.

I want Corey Dickerson, too. I don't think we would have pursued Nava had Dickerson been known to be available. Let Dickerson and Luplow platoon in LF. Use Frazier as our top LH PH and 4th OF. Don't worry about Nava. It probably means that there isn't room for Moroff on the 25-man, but worse things have happened.

Of course, we could eat some salary and send Freese to Tampa Bay in the trade, since they don't have Longoria any more. On the other hand, maybe Moroff gets the deal done.

The big question is, which organization is the cheapest one in MLB: Pitt or Tampa?
