That team would win 83 games and finish third in the NL central.

Re: Making the Pirates Winners

winning season for sure but playoffs may be tough. Is your pitching depth strong enough to cover injuries?

Jeter in the Pirates in the 8th spot. Imagine that.

I have also chosen to do this. First season I went 67-95, but I added some free agents. I want to win by building my team through my minor leaguers, so maybe sign and trade some free agents to accrue some young talent.

The two that I can remember off the top of my head are Jason Kubel and Vincente Padilla.

Re: Making the Pirates Winners

Not a bad team.. but where did the Pirates get that money? I think Cliff Lee cost more than the team would be able to afford. haha..

I will follow, being that I am a Buccos Fan.
