Pirates fans, are you happy with what you got for Bay?

Question

I'm a Sox fan and really looking forward to Bay patrolling left field.

Do you think the Pirates got a reasonable return? I won't speak to the Dodgers prospects because I'm only a little familiar with LaRoche.

Moss could turn out to be a David Murphy type and has the potential to be a great everyday player. Hansen has shown flashes of being an excellent reliever and was even thought at one point to be the next closer for the Sox, he's young and could develop into a very good reliever/closer. What do you think?

Answer 1

I am a Pirates fan and I am estatic over this..

Remember the Pirates are shooting fpr 2-3 years from now and their farm system sucks.

Laroche had a ,988 OPS in AAA last year. He does alot of things and was listed as Dodgers top prospect going into this year. He also puts a hole in case Alvarex doesnt sign, but Bay frees up money for Pedro.

Moss was high on the Sox list, but they wanted Bay badly. Moss can almsot be a Nate MCLouth type player in LF. He hits for alot of doub;les and has power.

Hansen finds his slider he can help a bad bullpen and be a good setup man.

The guy I am excited about is Morris. ESPN analyst said he can be special.

Answer 2

im a brewers fan but i think red sox best deal

Answer 3

pirates didn't get much. i like laroche and that's pretty much it. hansen is still young, but he's been pretty bad this year. i've watched moss when he replaced youkilis in the lineup and he's not very good. the pirates are just giving up their big pieces.

Answer 4

I'm not a Pirates fan, and I don't think we'll see them above .500 anytime soon.

Answer 5

well im a mets fan i'd say the pirates got the worst end of the deal the only guy who i think MIGHT be a star is Andy LaRoach
