2014 Whipping boy

Reading pathatt's comment that he might be nicer to Tabata this year because of his effort last year got me thinking. Who will we blame for all that ails the Pirates this year? In past year's players like Adam Laroche have single-handedly cost the Pirates every game they lost and some that that won. Until Andy Laroche. Even bit players like Matt Diaz and Xavier Paul have been fully responsible (in game recap comments sections anyway) for the Pirates not making the playoffs in a given year. Every catcher between Kendall and Martin has been a -27 WAR player, or so it seems.

So who will it be this year? Despite winning 94 games and making the playoffs, even last year we had crInge and Old McDonald hanging around like bad pennies, dumpsters for our scorn. Vote and comment. Write-ins welcome
