@JFreshHockey I always chuckle when those Connor McDavid fast starts elicit "fastest player to X points since" comparison graphics and they are always comparing him to 37 year old Lemieux, but announcers talk about it like it's 24 year old Lemieux in 1989
@oscar_t_grouche@Wins_Williams I was talking in the context of acquiring players through trades. Of the list you provided, only Endy came over in a BC trade.
I do appreciate your Pirates optimism, though.
@oscar_t_grouche@Wins_Williams Prospect development in the context of Ben Cherington means acquiring an average to slightly above average prospect and turning them into independent league players within 5 years.
To celebrate @jhay_da_man retiring as a Pirate, we're giving away this autographed, game-used bat!

@DonChed54 I can't believe anybody watched Hudson Head play baseball and then rated him a top 5 prospect. Guy could barely hit the ball beyond the infield grass.
@TheEXECUTlONER_ People 100% complained about needing a salary cap because of the Yankees payroll. This has literally been a 30 year process of people wanting a salary cap in baseball. If you don't remember that, you were probably born in 1996.
