The roster is bargain shopping at the land of misfit toys. Washed up cast offs, bottom of the barrel retreads and AAAA never were's. All while the supposed stars are not performing. This team had a lot of "ifs" that needed to go right and most did not, particularly health. The only hope is that this might be one of the worst divisions in the game. I don't for a second buy the Pirates but someone is going to win this thing. They haven't been good for several weeks and no, a good series against the Royals proves nothing.
