Re: 2024 Off-Season Thread

I totally agree with Surg. As Pirate fans, we never get to enjoy the present. We are always told the future will be better. But at some point we want to see actual signs of that instead of just words. Last year Skenes brought real hope that the next few years could bring the kind of baseball enjoyme...

Re: 2024 Off-Season Thread

And if he can't help, maybe they can send for Abraham Nunez. I'm sure Lloyd McLendon remembers how to call on him. He only did it every frickin' night. Until I saw Shelton, McClendon was the worst manager I ever saw. Nunez was a good fielder and weak hitter. But he was McClendon's favorite PHer (at...

Re: 2024 Off-Season Thread

I won't discount the importance of veteran leadership but I'd prefer that the veteran be someone who can hit lots of home runs. Frazier managed to hit .202 last year. Maybe they think he'll be a good influence on Bae (.189), Suwinski (.182) and Davis (.144). :D And if he can't help, maybe they can ...

Re: 2024 Off-Season Thread

If you consider the net result of the recent shuffling actions as a trade of Williams for Frazier, the main difference is veteran experience. Veteranoscity, is that called? With so many young players, they may be concerned they need some older voices on the team. I won't discount the importance of ...

Re: Davey Jones Locker

I saw Dauer play many times. He homered against the Bucs in the 1979 WS.

Re: 2024 Off-Season Thread

I'm anxious to see how Bart does this year. He was a good hitter in the minors and was impressive with the Bucs last season. Also looking forward to a full season of Gonzales. IKF is okay, Hayes can't be counted on and Horwitz seems to have a low ceiling. Right now, there's not even a 3rd OFer, much...

Re: 2024 Off-Season Thread

Pirates management knew the answers to those questions before they even asked them. Does anyone believe that the responses will change how the team is operated? This is strictly a PR move. It gives the illusion that team management cares about what the fans think. But nothing could be further from t...

Re: 2024 Off-Season Thread

Seen some information this evening about Verdugo and Grichuk it appears Boston, Kansas and Houston have interest in one or the other player. If this is true the Pirates have little chance of signing either player. Looks like dumpster diving again this year. Thank you Bob for not giving us a competi...
