My VP is a big Pirates fan and he has been blowing me up with excitement that they got Skenes and happy they won't suck going forward.
Would someone like Skenes be enough for this to be true. Even if you were to assume he was with them from opening day this year and was able to be a dominant ace pitcher; at best he would probably have them fighting for a WC spot.

if the Pirates stay true to form Skenes will have a miserable time there until a team that is trying to win trades for him, the Pirates are like a AAA team talent pool for the rest of MLB that happens to be playing in the same league, the way the A's were for the Yankees back in the 60s

I don't disagree I was just saying what my VP was saying to me. He seems to believe Skenes is going to be a savior. I am of the mindset that he will have a similar career arc of Aaron Nola where he pitches well on a losing team for his first 4-5 years before finally seeing success in the middle of his career. And thats if they continue to draft good players.
