Pirates fans - do NOT read this!

Tim Brown's recent column for Yahoo! sports focuses on the game's best prospect., but Pirates fans shouldn't read it unless they keep all sharp objects out of reach. 

Star-divide

if you guessed that the prospect was drafted in the first round of the 2007 draft by a different team, after the Pirates had made their first selection, and is a Scott Boras client, then you probably know who it is without clicking the link.  but don't say you weren't warned....

The poor kid would be a AA starter with a sore elbow if the pirates would have drafted him

Too late

Good advice but much too late.

I think I've reached a rationalization

If we had drafted Wieters in 2007, maybe Littlefield sticks around another year, and we don’t have Pedro Alvarez & co. today.

At least that’s what I tell myself so I can sleep at night.

Yuck

Apparently I was so convinced I can’t even keep verb tenses straight.

Nah

I look at it as Nutting getting involved just a little too late. If DL had been canned just 6 months sooner, we might have gotten him.

On draft day, I wanted Heyward with our first.

He’s not Wieters, but he’s not bad, either.
