To quote a poster from a popular Pittsburgh Pirates message board “The Pirates kicked their entire fan base square in the,” well, you get the picture.
That’s certainly how the masses (except one fan that nobody takes seriously anyway, except himself) feel.
How could a team so desperately starved for hitting pass on a prospect like Georgia Tech standout catcher Matt Wieters?
A power-hitting switch hitter that stands six feet five inches tall…
Well, we do have Ronny Paulino so don’t take a chance right?
The fact that the Bucs not only passed on Wieters but took a reliever, yes a reliever in the first round shocked the fan base yesterday.
But why should it? Anyone who has followed this team consistently should know and know well that this organization is committed to nothing but itself and its profits. This was made ever so clear yesterday by this insanity.
I have nothing against Daniel Moskos and I wish him the best, but this choice really shows that this organization as a whole is out to lunch.
If Dave Littlefield really thinks Moskos was their guy, he should be canned immediately. If he doesn’t he should take many fans suggestions and resign, letting the fans and MLB know that he wasn’t given the opportunity to do his job by ownership.
As for the commitment by ownership, read this: "Clearly, anybody in the organization could say the goal is to win more games and build a championship team," Bob Nutting said.
So you build championship teams by selecting relievers with the no. 4 overall pick?
Sad my friends, quite sad but not the least bit unexpected.
I’m 33 years old and I hope I see the Pirates win before I die. But I’m really starting to wonder.
It’s a good thing though that they’ll have a closer to close the 40 games they win when he’s called up.
