Not really.

Jose Batista was a decent minor leaguer but he was taken in the raiding, also known as the Rule 5 draft. The only other Pirates 3b prospect was Kody Kirkland, but he was traded to the Tigers for Randall Simon, and at last I heard he was tearing up the minor leagues.

They had probably the best minor league system in the Majors until it was harvested during the Rule 5 draft.

Not really... which is the MAIN reason for all the backlash when they dealt away Aramis Ramirez for virtually nothing.

Jose Bautista was about 2 years away, but they let him go in the Rule 5 draft. Only protecting 37 players out of 40 was the stupidest GM move I've ever seen. And I won't even get into protecting jabronies like Mark "Passes out after smoking weed" Corey and Jason "Oil Can't" Boyd.

I agree...

And keeping Abraham Nunez was a mistake. When they signed Lofton, Sanders, and Simon last spring I actually thought that Littlefield knew what he was doing. All he had to do was make trades for quality prospects during the season. But no, all we get in return is Bobby Hill? The Bucs have a poor front office and it is sad to see them make bad moves year in year out.
