Around SBN: Tiger Woods Makes His 2012 PGA Tour Debut

A proposal

We all know there are plenty of people who seem to reject everything the Pirates do, often without reason. This is a post for those who write off all their moves, even the Hinske trade in which the Pirates paid a portion of his salary, as salary dumps in a big scheme for Nutting to make money. They also think of Huntington as the same person as Littlefield, comparing every move to the ever famous Aramis Ramirez trade. I could spend hours trying to prove how all of this is not true, and this front office is different and better, but I don't feel I need to on this site. I do, however, have a proposal for these so called fans.

If Huntington has not been making good moves so far, what exactly would you do to field a winning team? Not just sayign something like I would keep our good players forever! With detail, how would you take the team as it was when this front office took over, with Bay, Nady, McLouth and everyone else, and make it into a competitive, playoff team? Without any ridiculous ideas and unrealistic spending like saying we should have signed Mark Tiexiera and C.C. Sabathia. This is open to anyone with ideas, but I really want to hear from those who reject the current moves.

Tell me your plan.

I have faith in NH

Spending Yankee or Dodger type money is not the answer. The Buccos will never be a team that spends that kind of money anyways. You have to build within your farm system. The past GM’s destroyed our farm system for many years. These so called fans that cry and moan about these trades just don’t get it. I am more excited about the future of this team than any time I can remember. It is going to take time and I realize fans are tired of hearing this but it is different. NH has only been on the job for 1 1/2 yrs give him a chance. Two years from now these people that criticize these trades will be praising them.

I think we should package McCutchen, Alvarez, Brad Lincoln, and Tony Sanchez to get 2 months of Roy Halladay (or, more likely, Cliff Lee).

Whadda you gotta say about that?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?

Sounds like the guy who sat in front of me at the game yesterday. And the guy who yelled:

“Hey Jones, you better stop hittin all ‘em homeruns, you’ll get traded.”

Except, without the punctuation.
