larussa a pirate?

cards4life — Fri, 05 Oct 2007 21:27:43 -0000

so, jim tracy got fired as the manager of the pirates. tony's main supporter, walt is now gone and i think tony mostly likely will not return to saint louis. what are the chances of him landing with the pirates? i mean, think about it. they had good young pitchers in the rotation and a couple of very good ones; snell and gorzelanny. also, matt morris is there (im not sure if he is a free agent or not this offseason). their lineup is decent with bay, sanchez, nady and paulino. what do you guys think? also, the pirates are in the nl central and would not take that many moves for them to be competitive next season. just a thought.

did this move shock anyone? it was down to either him or hancock and i think most people would agree with me when i say i'd rather have hancock on the team. any thoughts?
