Pirates need to take this approach to building a contender:
The blueprint is out there for how to build a competitive team in a small market, and yet the Pirates continue to ignore it. At this point, there is absolutely no hope in the foreseeable future for this team because the talent at the major league level is minimal, and at the minor league level, its average at best.
So what do the Pirates need to do to fix this? Well, they've dug a hole now that, sadly, I dont see them being able to climb out of for another 5-7 seasons. Thats depressing, but the realistic truth in my opinion. Truly sad considering we're already in season 15 of our rebuilding effort.
