Re: As a kid…

I was lucky enough to have grown up in the late 60s and early 70s. I loved the pirates, idolizing Clemente, Stargell, and really liked Oliver (who is vastly underrated), Hebner, and Sanguillen. But, like many kids I also came to favor more obscure players. I loved Richie Zisk. I thought he was fant...

Re: 2024 Off-Season Thread

Just thinking about the 13 position players that could come north at the end of ST. It would appear 11 positions are almost locked: Bart. C Horowitz 1b Gonzales 2b IKF. SS Hayes 3b Triolo bench Frazier bench Cutch DH Reynolds LF Cruz CF Pham RF Backup catcher between Endy or Davis Last spot between ...

Re: 2024 Off-Season Thread

Since the Pirates have found their corner outfielder, and they didn’t break Bob’s piggy bank to get him, I am wondering if there is any money left in the budget to sign another starting pitcher. There are several pitchers who remain unsigned before the start of ST, and possibly they could sign a pit...

Re: 2024 Off-Season Thread

Paul Skenes should place a call today to Bob Nutting and tell he's not reporting until the organization becomes as serious and dedicated as he is. I am sure he will show up on Wednesday, but if this nonsense continues for another season or so he is going to ask to be moved. This is a disgrace, you ...

Re: 2024 Off-Season Thread

If you add the money being paid on Pham and Frazier the Bucs could have signed Randall Grichuk.My guess is that he didn’t want to come to the Pirates, and waited for a another team to contact his agent. The D Backs did, and the Pirates lost an opportunity for a better player. I blame our owner for t...

The Bucs are paying four million dollars for one year. Jason Mackey on his twitter did a comparison of Connor Joe and Pham and the stats are almost identical. Pham doesn’t move the needle for me.

Re: 2024 Off-Season Thread

Ramon Laueano who I considered a possible corner outfielder has signed with the Orioles for 4 million dollars. I guess too expensive for the Pirates. I'm surprised as they have already signed Dylan Carlson and Tyler O'Neill this off season and have Cowser and Mullins back who were really solid last...

Re: 2024 Off-Season Thread

If the Pirates even want to sign a free agent outfielder it could be Tommy Pham, David Peralta or Mark Canha. All three players are older than 35 years old. I really think they are going to try to fill the position from within the organization. Gorski has been invited to ST as a non roster player, ...
