Crasnick story on the Bucs makeover




Today, Jerry Crasnick posted an objective, interesting article about Huntington's complete overhaul of the Pittsburgh Pirates on ESPN.com  I thought it was a good read and definitely worth checking out, even if most of it isn't news to us.

 

Andre Mccutchen is very good at baseball.  In fact he is so fast that in the time it took me to write these extra words he rounded the bases three times.

Dangit

I missed this while making my own fanpost. Oh well, my title is more catchy and commentary more clever.

Haha, jk. Beat me by 10 minutes.

Perhaps I’m in the minority on this, but shouldn’t these kinds of things go into the FanShots?

I certainly appreciate the effort and I don’t mean to call you out, GTrain. I have a feeling people may not be seeing the FanShots, but I know I check them. I guess I have enough trouble keeping track of the FanPosts as is, and I think some truly good stuff is getting pushed down because people are rushing to post nothing more than a link with some fluff commentary to get to the word limit.

I’m one of the ones that hardly ever notices them unless Charlie promotes one. They’re too far down the page!!

I suspected that a lot of people don’t scroll down to see them.

Maybe I’m just cranky about this. Who knows.

Its cool that a few of the ex-Pirates understand what's going on here

Huntington is just doing his job. It’s business, nothing personal
