Final thoughts on the 09 Pirates


Just a few thoughts on the Pirates before today's opener in St.Louis.

Wager that the team that ends the season looks quite different than the one that starts today.
Adam LaRoche,Freddy Sanchez and Jack Wilson all could be gone by then and likely John Grabow as well....

Want a long shot on who might not be here?
Nate McLouth.
Despite the fact that he just signed an extension,a solid start and a strong offer at the trade deadline might land a contender McLouth.
Please keep in mind that is unlikely,but possible.

Two more players that could be quietly moved in minor deals?
It would not surprise me in the slightest to see Tom Gorzelanny or Steve Pearce moved along.
Neither is the apple of the front offices eye.

Players that will make their Major League Debuts?
Andrew McCutchen,Neil Walker and maybe Brad Lincoln

Final record
63-99,call me a mild optimist....
