    Yeah, but still, this season, it doesn't seem so bleak. Finally seems like there's some hope. In the future.

    A little more info on this: http://www.piratesreport.com/page/blogs.detail/display/51/Tabata-s-story-comes-into-focus.html

    :banghead: very well played. Though I would guess he was drafted due to signability reasons over Wieters. I'm not so sure. That's what we all thought at the time, too. But, listening to Littlefield, it seems he wanted a college pitcher who'd get to the majors quicker. To show that it wasn't a money move, he traded for Morris.

    You all know what I know. I'm kinda scratching my head over this one. From today's PG: http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/09085/958487-63.stm Not really sure it tells us much, though. As For Moskos, I've read absolutely nothing about him this spring training. Just a reminder: The guy who drafted him over Weiters now works for the cubs. (I'll take what ever little pathetic victories I can.)
  6. Jake
    what, you wouldn't like to have paul maholm rather than matt wieters? crazy talk. It was Danny Moskos, not Paul Maholm.
  7. Jake
    :confused: They'll be 25 on the roster, Gorzo or no Gorzo.
  8. Jake
    The guy who drafted most of the now works for the Cubs.
  9. Jake
    Gorzo had a very good '07 and then got cocky. Didn't really work hard before last season and lost his touch. He got back into shape this past off season, but his mechanicals are a mess. Don't worry. They'll tee off on Karstens instead. (Unless we get lucky and someone good is put on waivers.)
  10. Jake
    Is this last year? Or does this include '07 too?
  11. Jake
    That's just Harsh. At least you guys never signed Mackowiack.

    First of all, after Soriano's and Bradley's contracts, they can't afford him. (Boston won't take Soriano) But, if that were to happen, I would then have to hunt him down and kill him. Too many reasons.

    Keep in mind that, since August last year, she's been a Red Sox fan.
  14. Jake
    This best not happen. Then my daughter would become a Cubs fan. I'd have to kick her out of the house. She's only 7.
  15. Jake
    That's certainly a good question. Under Dave Littlefield, I'd automatically assume it wouldn't be picked up. (OTOH, would littlefield have done this contract? Probably not ) Under these guys, I really have no clue. There are promises to spend money when it's time. Let's see what happens when the time comes, for it is certainly not now. Keep one other thing in mind. We now have minor league talent that potentially could push McLouth out, making him trade bait. (Most of that talent is a bit of a ways off, but it's there. And, most of it still has to develop - it's all potential. )
  16. Jake
    You win.
  17. Jake
    It's done. :|

    It's interesting to come in here and read this as a fan of a so-called small market team. (Funny, our foot ball team is in the superbowl on Sunday, our Hockey team just lost the finals a couple of months ago, but I digress...) One other think not mentioned here is that it's supposed to keep us from making desperation money trades. (Having Dave Littlefield for a GM seemed to disprove that notion, though.) Also, not every free agent warrents a pick. We're not getting anything for Jason Michaels signing with Houston, nor should we. 2 things on this - first, this is exactly what did not happen this year. The only two players who accepted arbitration were relief pitchers. Two - anyone who'd warrant a contract that a team like the Pirates couldn't afford would want to parlay that success into a multi year contract and will therefore not accept arbitration. The value of draft picks is way up there, thanks to the Rays getting into the WS this year. But, don't for a minute overlook the economy.
  19. Jake
    Not exactly what we need. It'd be better if he were right handed. Still, he can play 3B if in fact Andy LaRoche continues to suck. He can play LF until McCutch is ready if Morgan sucks. He can play RF is Moss sucks. He can play 1B in April when Adam LaRoche usually sucks. So, in other words, he's a back of in case of suckage.
  20. Jake
    We got that covered.
  21. Jake
    That's a pretty definitive statement.
  22. Jake
    When the biggest questions in the blogosphere about your favorite team has to do with how we let Jason Michaels get away to the hated Astros, or whether or not we should have protected Kyle Bloom, you know the next year is going to suck. :banghead:

    Many things depend upon this. Our top bullpen lefty, Grabow, is on the block. Sean Burnett is the next lefty in the pen. After that, now is Veal. Duke, Dumatrait & Gorzo are not guaranteed spots in the rotation, and could therefore be up for spots in the pen. Plus we have a ton of righty relievers. If Grabow is traded, maybe. If not, probably not. Unless Kerrigan can work some magic on him next month.

    http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/08294/921375-100.stm :-k Can anyone save this staff? At least Matt Morris isn't listed a Starter for next year, so it's got to be better.
