Least talked about manager's job (Pirates)

Until the Pirates start having some first round draft picks make something of themselves, the Buccos will always be mucho succos.

 

We will ... settle for mediocrity.

Well, at least you'll still be able to get good seats at PNC.

 

Settle for mediocrity? Hell, the Pirates aspire to it.

 

I thought the same - it speaks volumes that one of his former coaches gets the job and won't comment.

 

I'll dance a jig for 83 wins!!!

 

Russell wasn't a great fan of McClendon even though he was on the coaching staff and didn't hold the opinion to himself when asked if he was interested in the job after Lloyd's firing. Russell can demand all he wants of his roster, he's not winning unless Huntington makes the right trades and signings this winter and then making the right draft choices and minor league development plan for the future.

Good luck for all of that to happen within 3-4 years.

 

Isn't there some sort of babysitter story with John Russell?

 

I think you got the wrong person there.

 

I know this is going way back in the thread, but since you ruined my morning . . .

F-You!

There, I feel better now.
