If we awarded points for not signing anyone, we would win this thing every year, running away.

Obfuscate much?  I'm apologizing for BC because I think he did a good thing by not making the Pirates worse?  You continue to prove that you're really not a Pirates fan.

________

Here are the top 10 excuses and alibis for not acquiring a player.

__________

That would be No, 8.



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.

I think you mean "just as bad, or worse, as him".

I wonder if Cherington knows that someday is not a day of the week?




Never heard of this character so I will defer to you

1 for Brebbia

[2drfischer@gmail.c]

Looking at the ratings of the teams thus far, I see the Giants have added five players, only one of them receiving a score that was as high as average (2.5). The average for all the players is 1.7, which translates to mean that the Giants are worse now than they were when the season ended, having added players the esteemed panel probably wouldn't want the Pirates to have. Yet Brian Sebean looks like he's working miracles out there.

Why the Brebbia hate? He was an effective reliever.
