The '09 team has about $30.5MM committed before arbitration raises to Doumit, LaRoche, McLouth, Maholm, Duke, Grabow, Yates, and Bautista. Even after those, they'll still be comfortably under $40MM. So there is no need to make payroll-motivated trades. 海賊08年的薪資是$48.7MM，在不含Doumit, LaRoche, McLouth, Maholm, Duke, Grabow, Yates, Bautista仲裁增加的部份之前是大約$30.5MM。加上去之後仍然在$40MM以下。 所以沒必要做那種為了減輕薪資壓力的交易。 It is fair to suggest the Pirates moved in the right direction with this year's trades. This team won't sniff contention in 2009, even with some breakout seasons. Right now it's simply a team short on star power without much in the way of hitting or pitching. It will get worse before it gets better if the Bucs move LaRoche and/or Wilson this winter. The focus should be a young shortstop and pitching. The Pirates won't be signing any significant free agents. 在今年做的交易後，可以很合理的說海賊正往正確的方向移動。即便有些突破性的因子， 這支球隊在明年還是不會是競爭者之一。目前這是一支缺乏明星球員，在投手和打擊兩 方面都沒有太多深度的球隊。在變的更好之前，如果這個冬天交易掉臘肉哥和（或） Wilson，甚至會變的更糟。交易的目標則會鎖定年輕的游擊手和投手。不會去簽任何 重要的自由球員。 Doumit, McLouth, and Maholm were the bright spots in '08. Hopefully those players can sustain their success while players like Andy LaRoche, Moss, Snell, and Ohlendorf take a step forward. Andrew McCutchen and Jose Tabata represent outfield promise for the future. Signing Pedro Alvarez would add another future star to the farm system. Neal Huntington did a nice job amassing young arms this year, and I'm sure he'll continue to do so. With some luck added, the Pirates could be competitive in 2010. Doumit, McLouth, and Maholm是這個球季的亮點，希望在Andy LaRoche, Moss,Snell, and Ohlendorf有進一步的成長之前，他們能夠維持住這樣的表現。 Andrew McCutchen and Jose Tabata代表了未來的外野希望。簽下Pedro Alvarez會在農場裡加入另一個未 來明星。Neal Huntington在堆積年輕投手這件工作上做的很好，而我也確定他會繼續進 行這件事。如果加上一些幸運，海賊最快在後年可以成為一支有競爭力的隊伍。 ------------------- 雖然不一定長的出來，不過LaRoche, McCutchen,Tabata,Alvarez這幾個人作為未來的核心 還是相當令人期待，目前農場最缺的就是高潛力的投手，幾筆交易裡換來的年輕投手都是 頂多後段輪值的腳色，還是期待Ian Snell跟Tom Gorzelanny能夠拿出他們曾經有過的好 表現，如果重建進行到一定的程度，明年或後年的冬天再簽下一兩個關鍵的FA，我想這 漫長的黑暗期應該即將要結束了。 --
