Yeah no chance of that happening.


Maybe not, but all I'm saying is that the Pirates have gone full retard many times before.

They need somebody with a "name" to play this year.

t then turns into a Bethancourt and one of those pitchers for McCutchen. No shot.


Bethancourt and maybe a better arm could possibly do it though. Like vizcaino or Delgado. But would it be worth it?

Mccutchen is either gonna flounder in the future like Maybin or flourish into a less powerful Matt Kemp.

They definitely have gone full retard a lot of times before. Although, they locked up McCutchen earlier this offseason to a deal that will have him there through 2018. Knowing that, I'm not sure there is anything we can wave in front of their face that would tempt them to trade him.

The braves do have some young hitters that if they figure it out, this lineup will be feared.

Freeman is gonna be solid, if not more than solid. I like his approach.

Heyward can be a star. if he figures his swing out and keeps improving he will be great.

mccann is gonna give you .270+ with 20+ HRS

I don't like Uggla, but he is the man there until something happens.

I think Simmons could blossom as a great SS with a pretty good bat.

I'm not high on any of the 3B prospects. I'm not as big a fan of Joe T as many others.

If the braves could just get a solid impact hitter by trading a few prospects and sign Swisher, then I'd be pumped.

He's the same age and better than Maybin, so I'm not sure I follow that comparison.
