>>225987 I suppose. I mean, looking at his stats he seems better than Bay, but Bay also had a 2 year slump when his production was just awful. He's been out of that, and has done his share this season.
Don't get me wrong, I wasn't mad with the Nady deal, because I knew it was coming sicne the start of this season. Nady was too good to be true for the Pirates, and too many teams saw a spot in their starting lineup for him. The deal we got for him was on the shitty side of things, making it feel like a Littlefield trade. But that's what happens when you deal for prospects. Who knows, they could all pan out and the Pirates could look like the smart guys.
I've been saying that for 15 years though. Not once has it been true in that time. Every deal that was made was bad. They never got what they should have for players. They waited til players had gone into a slump to trade them, and got nothing for them, while usually footing some of the salary.
So, don't be surprised when Pittsburgh fans start questioning what the front office is doing. We've seen this shit before. And it looks like some of the top prospects won't be included in this deal, meaning the Pirates are trading a GOOD left fielder for a SHOULD BE GOOD outfielder, almost straight up, while Grabow is being traded for lower tier prospects.
I guess the deal is better on paper than the Nady/Marte trade, but I'm sick of losing players. I'm sick of losing good players for shit prospects. Why can't we trade some goddamn prospects that never pan out for some decent players?
I'm way too into this shit, I need a new damn team, and I can just forget about the fucking Pirates, and let them bury themselves.
