What I Would Do if GM of the Pittsburgh Pirates

Have you ever sat back and thought "I could run the team better than these @$$#*%&$!?" I know I could!

Following up on my fire sale report, I know the time is now for the ownership to strike while the iron is hot and start to make the productive trades. The fanbase in Pittsburgh is disappearing, and soon there will not be anyone attending games. Heck, I am jumping for joy about the Steelers' upcoming season. I like to say that the new ownership will turn things around, but until they start wheeling and dealing, the team will stay the same.

Currently the roster is as follows:

C: Ryan Doumit; 1B: Adam LaRoche; 2B: Freddy Sanchez; SS: Jack Wilson; 3B: Jose Bautista; RF: Xavier Nady; CF: Nate McLouth; LF: Jason Bay

If  trades were to occur, this is what the roster/lineup could be:

C: Miguel Perez (AA); 1B: Adam Boeve (AAA); SS: Brian Bixler (AAA); 2B: Jose Bautista; RF: Andrew McCutchen (AAA); CF: Nate Mclouth; LF: Nyjer Morgan (AAA)

Looking at the revised roster/lineup, the team would be better off with the new lineup and set for the future to make a run at the playoffs. I have looked at those players and believe that the new lineup would improve the team's record, and those players traded will fetch great pitching to improve the horrible current losing seasons.
