this pisses me off...they keep doing this...they pick up these mediocre players then they become the stars and the pirates get better and then when they realize the players are worth something and they have gotten us a lot farther than last year they decide to trade them for a bunch of youngins...i understand what theyre trying to do...but the next season instead of having a bunch of youngins start like the plan...they decide to start the oldies...who do good...then they trade them all near the end of the season...i want to see them stop doing this and get a mix of players...hold onto the good ones for more than a year and shoot at the playoffs...im a die hard fan but they keep getting good new guys then dumping them when they show signs of greatness...
