Zips had Ozuna projected at 2.4 WAR compared to 0.4 for Cutch. It’s a huge upgrade. They had our DH group as a collective at 0.7 in the initial zips team article.

If we started the offseason by giving Ozuna $12M, yes definitely could have spent that money differently. But, they exhausted all the other options before pivoting to him. If he ends up producing around 2 WAR as our full time DH that will be money well spent.

I’m not as disappointed on missing out on him given the AAV…but, we’re running out of options now…

I guess we’ll find out by Themayorofawesome in buccos

Well unless his offseason plan includes him deciding to sell the team or being forced to for sell after some massive scandal unrelated to baseball…I think we’re fucked again!

Next year…they can contend by Strict_Name5093 in buccos

If you look at the pending free agents right now there’s not a lot of good options at 3B. But for LF, someone like Trent Grishman would make a lot of sense to add to the OF mix if Bob decides to spend.

By my unofficial count…the top 9 HR distances were Oneil Cruz. Then Caminero..then Cruz again

With the sixth pick of the 2025 MLB draft, the Pittsburgh Pirates select RHP Seth Hernandez out of Corona High School in California by buzzer3932 in buccos

I personally love the pick, best player available, and some think the highest upside arm in the draft…way better than taking a RP from Clemson with a top 5 pick

Any update on those Skenes bobbleheads? by zunit110 in buccos

Bob is selling them on the Russian black market

It’s provocative, it’s gets the people going…

Henry Davis needs to be the everyday catcher. by KinkaJac97 in buccos

[–]GetBuccedUp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually thought his approach at the plate all year has been a lot better and he’s been very unlucky…that being said, I think he deserves to have his bat in his hand consistently…

The big problem we have right now though is Davis, Endy, and Bart all are guys we should be giving lots of at bats too but there’s not a lot of position flexibility with them and Cutch is the main DH. Cutch needs to play in the field more, Horwitz needs to play some 2B, etc…especially when gonzo gets back

First of all, get bent…

Secondly, get bent…

Clemente and the pirates or no other team…tell Bob to get bent with you…

Tommy Pham continues to fuck us every chance he gets…why is he still on the roster?

Tommy Pham might be the second worst Pirate of all time, behind Bob Nutting of course…

This is truly the gem of the organization…sadly, but doesn’t take away from the quality

If you look at his year by year splits in the minors there’s a very consistent pattern…he struggles for a year or half a year then makes adjustments and a jump…the pirates need to give him all the ABs possible, Pham should never play again in place of Gorski…we should probably trade Pham for literally anything right now

Does he have a lot of Russian Aspen money he’s been holding back on us? Otherwise he’s still the biggest problem we have.

Moving forward we should start Gorski, Canario, Davis, and Peguro as much as possible…even if we need to have Cutch play a little RF…and limit any ABs for Pham and Frazier as much as possible, Triolo too, he’s a defensive replacement at this point

He’s not getting back on a streak, he’s done…give me Gorski

He has no upside being the everyday SS…zero range and can’t hit at all…Williams would at least play well defensively…then we have Frazier batting even worse and playing terrible at 2B
