Pirates playing at Milwaukee today. Anybody notice how the..

Anyone noticed how that team in the Central Division, the formerly
hapless Milwaukee Brewers, who used to share the bottom of the league
with the Pirates, often finishing behind the Pirates, now are fully
stocked at BOTH the Major and Minor league levels with star players,
drafter by them, while the Pirates have almost nothing at the Major
league level and are even worse, if that's possible, at the Minor
League level? Huh? Huh?

That's a mouthful, but it's true.

The Brewers obviously know how to draft players. Thank you
Dave Littlefield.

And the Brewers obviously know how to draft AND pay for amateur
players, thank you Bob Nutting and Kevin McClathchy.

Amazing!

Two teams, same division, both on the bottom and one rises and may
even contend for the division title this year.]

The other one brings ujp some players from the Minors and still can't
get anywhere.

And let's not hear about the injuires. All teams have them.

The no longer battling Bucs are a sorry franchise thanks to the
Nuttings and McClathchys.

All true enough and let's not forget about Tampa Bay.

Take some solace in the fact that the Pirates just completed a very
Breweresque draft and there are already some blossoms on the tree for
the future...

My favorite pick of the draft Matt Hague was immediately promoted from
the NYPL to Hickory and is mashing the ball in his very brief time
there. If the Pirates pull off a good trade or two this month things
could turn around very quickly.
