Wow. I assume, and hope for all of our sakes, that Huntington was just playing politics here:
Huntington acknowledged yesterday that the Pirates had Dusty Baker and Trey Hillman on their potential candidate list, but he wouldn't say how high or low on the list they were.
Baker has agreed to manage the Cincinnati Reds. Hillman yesterday signed to manage the Kansas City Royals.
Baker and Larry Bowa are the only "candidates" I can think of offhand who would obviously be worse than Jim Tracy.
