Every year they get top draft picks and then they eventually trade them away. What they are doing is drafting players and then trading them down the line for more prospects. I think that its time to try something new. This strategy is clearly not working.Sec202https://www.blogger.com/profile/12885353896670269668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740761247940355610.post-63460874730084069082009-09-08T17:40:26.131-04:002009-09-08T17:40:26.131-04:00Could he have?

I mean personally I dont care about this terrible franchise, but I wouldn't be suprised if McCutcheon gets moved for nothing. With all of these trades they didn't come away with one good player. <br /><br />Sometimes I wonder why the Marlins are called the Fish too.

Jack Wilson was not going to win you a championship any time soon. There are 25 Adam LaRoche's in baseball. Freddy Sanchez is a good singles hitter who was flipped for a top pitching prospect. Nate McLouth was a productive player but was blocking McCutcheon from the big leagues. Those trades can help replenish a farm system and lets face it, those guys were replacable. <br /><br />But yeah a bad team for a long time.<br /><br />Section also wonders why the Eagles are sometimes called the birds.dochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07569805225693572161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740761247940355610.post-82865133432641134722009-09-08T16:59:20.200-04:002009-09-08T16:59:20.200-04:00You could add that the last time the Pirates had a...You could add that the last time the Pirates had a winning season, the Phillies #1 pitching prospect's Dad was their ace.Spider Ricohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971803844732597916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740761247940355610.post-9514153158644362592009-09-08T16:58:08.498-04:002009-09-08T16:58:08.498-04:00I'm full of useless information...
