Dumbass Littlefield Strikes Again

Another set of MLB winter meetings have come and gone and what do the pathetic, downtrodden and flat out sickening Pirates have to show for it?

A small amount of cash acquired in exchange for a rule 5 pick and the re-signing of a lefthanded reliever. While the Marte deal was good, GM Dave Littlefield failed again to acquire the lefthanded power bat the Buccos so desperately need.

It is so easy to lose interest in this team any more.....it really is.

Here is a great little nugget from an ESPN article:

Also, oddly enough, I saw another general manager at McDonald's: Pirates GM Dave Littlefield. He said Pittsburgh's ownership budgeted him only 20 bucks of expenses for the entire trip, so it's 99-cent McNuggets for breakfast, lunch and dinner all week. Poor guy. Although I suppose he's lucky he's even at the winter meetings. I'm surprised the league still bothers inviting the Pirates.
