Ackley, Miller, Turner and Crow
ESPN had a write up today on which teams were interested in which players at the top of this June's draft. They mentioned the 4 guys above. The thing that surprises me is that Miller and Turner are both high school pitchers. Personally, I'd prefer a college player or an HS position player. Aren't the results for top 10 high school pitchers absurdly poor?

Offseason/Free Agency
It looks to me like many of our veteran players are available again. If we trade Jack, Freddy or both, what is keeping us from playing a little in free agency?
By the question I don't mean signing anyone with a pulse or some pitcher like Derrick Lowe for 15 million per. I mean finding someone like Adam Dunn who may not get the multi-year deal he's looking for. 4 years at 40-48 million wouldn't be unreasonable for someone who's hat 40 homers each of the last 5 years. So Dunn may bump us up from 65 wins to 72 wins. As long as its with in budget, why not sign someone like Dunn? I think he may be the first undervalued free agent in years.
Is there anyone you think the Pirates should target in the offseason via free agency or through a trade? I saw Juan Rivera's name in another thread. Rocco Baldeli if he's cheap?
