If you are a pitcher who can do anything right, then either the Pirates or Nationals organizations are perfect for you.


i dont see why people keep saying this


the Pirates are prob the most poorly ran franchise in baseball.

why would u want to play for them?

as a young pitcher, who may happened to get called up early(for his sake i hope not), do you know how emotional draining it is to play for a shitty team? Esp if he is pitching good???


and people keep saying, "he'll get traded to a contender anyway"......Uhhh no, there is a good chance he doesnt get traded. They are trying to build from the bottom up...they arent trading prospects....they are trading veterans to GET prospects.

Because playing for a "poorly run franchise" is like having a green light to the big leagues. They mis-manage their talent, bring their players through their system too quickly to see what they can do in the big leagues only to trade them away to a contender if they do become halfway decent.

On the other hand, playing in a top-notch franchise's farm system, it could take longer to get to the big leagues due to the talent in front of you.
