You might be frothing about a batting title from a small contact hitter with no power playing 3rd base which is traditionally a power hitting position, but most teams wouldn't trade their 3rd baseman for him! David Wright can relax, his All-Star spot will be safe for years! I would rather see Aramis Ramirez back at third but that was another rape of talent! Awesome deal to get rid of Brian Giles too for Oliver Perez. Where is Oliver? I recall a guy named Doug Drabek winning a Cy Young award! Which guy in that front 4 will be the first to do that? Lets face it the Pirates are a farm team that developes talent for the rest of the league. Has been that way for a long long time! Won't change until the team is sold to an owner who wants to win!
