Giants-Pirates Talking Trade?

[Anthony]

that front office that beat the yankees in the 2003 world series with the lowest payroll in baseball?

That was uncalled for.


Edit: 2002

The thing is, the Marlins situation was different. They were making no money/still aren't making money so they can't afford to keep all the high profile stars on their team. Its just the nature of a small market team. The Pirates on the other hand are just trading away all their young guys instead of atleast letting them play their tenure out in Pittsburgh.

eh i dont really want laroche all that much, is he any good defensively? ishikawa is the best rated defensive 1st baseman in the league

[Mogriffjr]

LaRoche is pretty solid defensively. You might have a drop off is TI is the best rated...AL isn't that bad at all.

also AL is a 2nd half hitter...so the best is yet to come with him.

Don't forget Jack Wilson, he's the best defensive short stop in the majors according to some crazy stat. I read it last night on the gazette.

I just wish we could start building a winning team. There's no reason for half these trades. Our outfield was fucking sick before the Nady/Bay trades. Then they part ways with McLouth the face of the franchise. I'm happy with Cutch don't get me wrong but how long until he's gone?

I don't think they've had a winning season since I was like 3 or 4. FML

we dont want wilson lol

Mclouth is really the only young guy they traded. Sanchez and Wilson are both 31 and probably wont resign with a Pirates anyways.

The Pirates are hilarious. Next they'll trade Ryan Doumit to the Red Sox for $500 CASH!! ;)

they should, it will make up for the Red Sox giving them Freddy Sanchez and Mike Gonzalez for pretty much nothing.
