offseason pirates thread. Come in for the fire sale

For all the oldsters here - just saw where long time Pirate pitcher Bob Veale passed away at 89. The guy could really pitch and was sort of the poor man's Bob Gibson, amassing a plethora of W's, good ERA and strikeouts. He pitched on some very awful Pirate teams in the mid-late 60's but did get a WS ring with the '71 team. RIP Sir, well done.

BC needs to trade Keller to O`s for Coby Mayo plus 1 . I like Keller but Pirates really need some power. I think Keller would flourish elsewhere as #3 -4 guy.

 

Skenes/Keller/Jones. For a cheap ass team that is a decent starting 3. If, a big if, they all could have a good season together the Pirates could smell 90 wins.

 

Also depends on which Bednar shows up - very good Bednar or awfully bad Bednar. He won't have El Chapo to bale him out either when he falters. (No relation to SP Falter).

 

Bedar had a retty bad ear. If hew could turn it aoround next year that would be excelllent.

well to be fair I may have been a bit inebriated. Just a tad understand!
