Re: Official Trade Deadline Thread
I'm trying to understand why Littlefield traded for Matt Morris and I can't come up with a rational explanation. So the Pirates were worried about how much bonus money Wieters would ask for so they went cheap and drafted Moskos instead. But they have no problem paying Matt Morris 10.5 million dollars to pitch from them next season. I'm scratching my head. Surely Wieters isn't going to get anywhere close to a 10.5 million dollar signing bonus.
It's really too bad more GM's/Owners don't listen to my advice about how you should exploit the draft by exceeding slot for premium talent. I would rather pay a couple million for the Jered Weavers of the world than 10.5 million for the Matt Morris's. Not only would the player be younger and cheaper, but most likely better and it doesn't cost you prospects in return.
What kind of dirty pictures does Littlefield have on the owner? It's probably the only reason he hasn't been fired yet.
