I'll believe it ONLY when the ink is dry.

The Pirates can finally claim a title...the Longest losing seasons streak in sports! Hooray! We're number 1!

Again, Pens - incredibly hot avatar.

The title "Pirates to sign number one pick" is incomplete; this should read "Pirates to sign number one pick so they can get him some public paying time and trade him by mid-July." There, that's better.

I agree, your title is much more accurate.

So........we can expect this guy to get traded to NY or Boston in what.....2011, 2012???

Put pen to paper and then it's all good.

Calling Pedro Alvarez ...

Figure out where you wanna play next and get a jump on it , because the Real Estate market is cheap right now ... New York ? Boston ? San Francisco (only because the weather is better but maybe you like the humidity?)...Just rent in Pittsburgh and don't buy any furniture.

I'm sure he's been given that advice already.

Let's see, it's a four year contract...that means the Pirates will trade him sometime in July of 2011.

Possibly 2010 the way this team operates...however this new management team seems to have a better handle on things. Any chance they could trade the Nuttings for REAL owners?

The picture is of Jack Wilson trying to give his hat to a fan, but no one seems to want it.

A 4 year contract plus arbitration locks him up at least 6 years.If THIS management makes better scouting choices(and they can't make worse ones than Littlyield)they might have a much better team.I am guess you know Pirates have #2 ranked played in all of minors (McCutchen) and another (Tabata) who are both 5 tool players.One is 21 and the other is 20.So neither one will be traded.

I'd like to believe that, I really really would. BUT, the Nuttings are among the worst owners in sports so I'll believe it when I see it.
