They need to start selling some of the veteran pieces to get to the level of suck needed to draft Beer.

Is Beer still a first round pick even?

They suck just fine, 73 wins should about do it.

After a week of no Marte I read this morning the Pirates are looking for an outfielder. Hahn should call them about Avi and take anything young back.

:lol: Avi is still fairly young and having a great season so far. Melky would be the guy to ship to Pittsburgh.

I see your point. I just am not convinced what we are seeing from Avi now is real or long term.

What gives you that impression? The 5 years of suck before this or the 75 points his average dropped in the last 72 hours.

Me neither, but if it is Avi is still young enough where he could be a nice player when the Sox are good again in a few years.

The Pirates administration neither wants to take on salary nor give up prospects. Maybe they have come to the realization that an older guy with no defensive position like Bell isn't as valuable as they thought.

They just need a bridge guy for a few months until they bring up Meadows. Probably pick up a guy like Martin who was just released by the Mariners. Or trade for Szczur from the Cubs.

But he doesn't do anything well enough to warrant platooning or spot-starting in the OF. He's lost without a compass in right field, doesn't get on base, and until very recently has only displayed average power at the plate. He's got nothing going for him, long-term, so if you can flip him now for one mid-tier or two third-tier prospects, you do it.

Deadspin had several videos that someone posted of that guy throughout the game prior to the field incident. He was offering people hotdogs that he had hidden in his hat. :| :lol:

Now we are really cooking.

I like that it is happening on the West Coast. We get all of the gain without any of the pain.

can somebody explain the #tankforbeer thing? These people realize he's not eligible for the draft this year, right?

This year's record determines next year's draft order.

I have a feeling there is going to be someone who emerges as a better prospect than an all hit, no glove player to be taken first overall next year anyway.

Look at you! Dropping knowledge on a guy who's a year away from the draft. You prospect expert you!

Beer reminds of Russell Branyan for some reason. I'd take it!

Beer isn't going first overall next year. If that's who they want, you don't need 1,1.
