Pirates Will Sign Steve Austin
It makes perfect sense in that it makes no sense. The Pirates will sign Grady Sizemore. We can rebuild him. We can make him better. We can make him faster. He has had surgery 5 times in the last three years. Groin, knees, it doesn't matter it's a given. We let Doumit and Snyder go because their injury prone and then go out and sign the $6 million man. I don't know where he will play, maybe 1B? He last played there in Junior High, good enough. Maybe he can fill in as a fourth outfielder. Or maybe, just maybe Cutch gets traded and he plays Centerfield everyday, well at least for a month before running into a perogi. Grady is a great player when healthy and he can be had on the cheap after two woeful seasons. Come on Nutt make it happen!

I suppose you want him on a 1 year/$6 million deal?

the 'Six Million Dolar Man' TV series ran for 5 seasons
but unless there’s a helluva warranty on those nuclear powered limbs, I wouldn’t risk more than a 1-year deal
I thought we were signing the Texas Rattlesnake
I guess it would be easy to figure out what his walk up music would be

The Texas Rattlesnake...
would probably have us looking for a new GM in short order.

I wouldn't really be opposed to this
I’m just not entirely sure where he plays. When he’s healthy, he’s great. But…
He’s always been one of my favorite players though, so take this with a grain of salt.
The glare of the spotlight is harsh, and the pressure that success breeds immense. We revere our heroes, but expect much. And criticism can come as easily as praise.
Perspectives become reality.
