i'm beginning to think this team is just a bat or two away from making some noise...............the question is if they do something about it Originally Posted by chizzy
I think they will. But there’s not much out there. The Mets are winning and are now in it so Alonso is probably not moving. Roberts Jr is a great talent but can’t stay healthy. He’s a gamble. And expensive. Guerrero Jr is having an off year and the Jays will want a steep haul. There’s a CF in Oakland. Bleday. He’s 26 with numbers comparable to Reynolds. The As are tanking until they get to Vegas. Give them a couple prospects and Suwinski.
... I hope you fellows are correct... Though when I take a
gecko around the National league - I see three or four good
teams and two or three bad ones - and the other 8 or 9 are
ALL in the mix - just like the Pirates.
And the American league is almost exactally the same...

Let's give our lads 'til the mid-break before we pass judgement.

Looks like the evil Nutting gaveCherrington the green light to get players before the deadline.

Raise it. If you think the Pirates lineup is weak, the Rays had 3 guys with BAs of 105, 115 and 153. All teams have weak links. MLB should go back to 10 teams in each league.

The Pirates should sign him tomorrow. He was exonerated on all charges. He’ll come on the cheap. He’s really good.

The Steelers signed Cam Sutton. What’s the difference
... And with the weak payroll - the Pirates have some money
to spend.... Nice Win by our lads - starting to hit the ball...
Let's keep it going! ...

They might be sellers at the deadline if they don’t get some players now.

They’d have to buy 5 or 6 players. From what I hear on the radio. No real bats to be excited about in the minors.

True, but Pegaro, Palacious and Gorski can’t do any worse than Suwinski, Triolo and Taylor. McAdoo is in Altoona and crushing it for now. But he’s a year away.
