I remember the heat that your buddy, Shed, took when he predicted on the night of the McCutchen extension that the Pirates would never pay the end of that deal. 



Other members said that he had no idea what he was talking about, and that he was so negative and the like.



I think that was for $14 mil or around it.



The whole world knew that Stanton would go, too, because it was so backloaded.  I got a kick out of Connelly saying that backloaded deals were bad for baseball.



Then, he turns around and dumps McCutchen.  Let's just say that Connelly was the guy we should've dumped.




WRONG!!!!!! B effin S!!!!  He predicted the Pirates would trade him before the heavy lifting which I pinned him down to predicting 2014.



Quit making a gazillion posts with your 20/20 hindsight "wisdom".


On the night that the deal was announced, Shed wrote that the Pirates would not pay to the end of the contract.



Period.


You and Shed sure know how to twist facts. And explain how Cutch was a dump?



Ahhh who GAFF what you say anyhow. You're the ultimate armchair quarterback. You talk in generalities except after the fact and then provide some expert diatribe. Stay out of the thread. Every other post is just another veiled shot at something. You're a blowhard.

We get to face Steven Matz more often. He goes to the Cards on a 4-year, $44mil deal.

Pirates could afford that and he would have been around for the "window of winning" . ::)

The return for Frazier looks pretty underwhelming.
