    Should the Pirates make a deal so they will not have the worst friggin record in baseball?

    Yeah, but I think you can assume you'll continue to get the same numbers from Young in the future. It's highly likely that his numbers will go down. I'd also worry about injuries and (although I hope not) the return of personal issues.

    Sounds like Octavio Dotel is going to be the other big deal, and that ain't big.

    Did the Adam Dunn rumors die?

    Look at Piniella's track record. He'll play a kid for a while, the kid fails to produce today, the kid then gets dealt for Heathcliff Slocumb. The Mariners organization gave up on many, many guys who eventually would become solid big leaguers, largely because Piniella cannot stand taking the lumps while the kids learn. Jason Varitek, Derek Lowe, Scott Podsednik and Raul Ibanez are the guys who come immediately to mind.

    I still can't get over the Nats signing Dmitry Young longterm. Bowden is a fool.

    It was for two and $10, right? That's a movable contract and not much of an investment, all things considered.
     
  11. Pie for Laird makes absolutely no sense to me. Especially when Soto could provide just as much offensive punch as Laird if given a chance.

    And, since it makes no sense, and I'm a Cubs fan, I'm sure they'll do the deal...

    Too bad the Braves couldn't have convinced the Rangers to throw in Gagne as well.
