    Frank's Mad--What a great talent evaluator!!!!!!!

     Frank, in his wisdom says he's angry at the players for not running with the opportunity before them!!!  Hey Frank, you obtained all these players, don't you think maybe YOU should be a little embarassed with your choices???  Here's a word for ya':   MIRROR!!!!!

    I'm thinkin' Ol' Frank is now concerned that maybe all his wonderful drafts aren't as wonderful as he thought.  Maybe he isn't the wonderful talent scout that he thought he was????  Hey, what the hell, he's making some nice money while he's here playing "baseball talent evaluator"---SOMETHING HE'S NEVER GOTTEN TO DO BEFORE!!!!  And the best part--IT'S ON BOBBO!!!! 

    I loved the sign at the park:  HEY BOB, THANKS FOR NUTTING.  Great.

    If the boycott can rally from here, Bobbo will be gone sometime next year and we can get on with re-assembling a winning baseball program in "the Burg".

     Ownership has never been the Pirates problem.  Talent evaluation has and is why the Pirates have done so poorly. 

    Reviewing past drafts it is easy to see that players who are doing well or have done well  at the major league level were available when the Pirates made yet another "poor " choice. 

    Huntington is continuing that process by dealing for players such as Brandon Moss and Andy LaRoche.  The Red Sox and Dodgers were eager to dump these two when it was clear their talent was not major league.

     I agree with the idea of talent evaluation being poor.  But, let's not forget who hires (or gives final approval to do so) those evaluators---Yep, you guessed it---Bobbo & Co!!!!!!

    When it comes to ANY business the buck stops at the top, for both successes and failures.  This organization has known nothing but failure for the last 17 + years.  Who's ultimately responsible---BOBBO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
