Obviously the Pirates know their prospects better than anybody so they must have thought they were fringe at best. I just wish Neil Huntington would have said the trade was made for financial reasons and the fact that they don't think Liriano could be fixed. Instead he said they dealt all those pieces for Drew Hutchinson. That didn't go over well.

I met him a few times when he was with the Curve. That being said, I have no problem with the moves and risks the Pirates made at deadline. Liriano and his $18M remaining on contract needed to go. Harold Ramirez has 1 tool (hit for average). The Pirates have RunPMC already in the OF and Austin Meadows in the minors. Josh Bell could even go to OF if needed. Reese McGuire is blocked for next few years with the Cervelli extension and Elias Diaz as backup. <br /><br />JHay is still a sparkplug for the team and needs to stay on the team.Collecting Cutchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18066493614914957891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7504646615318477533.post-67576153668230965542016-08-03T19:47:01.403-04:002016-08-03T19:47:01.403-04:00You can have the Tigers' Austin Romine for Cas...You can have the Tigers' Austin Romine for Cash Considerations!

It's as hilarious as this -- there are actually people who want David Stearns fired because "who cares about prospects? This team sucks and he's doing nothing to improve it!"Tony L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01349226671097456632noreply@blogger.com
