JackZ got Cliff Lee. I believe they are the team to beat in the division if everyone stays healthy. In PGH, I think things will get very interesting at the MLB level this season. I completely agree the product MUST get better, season ticket sales are up and everyone is expecting to see some certain players perform. I can't wait. Thx SalemPirate. JackZ got Cliff Lee.

When you think about it, this has nothing to do with whether the Pirates would have gotten a couple of low A pitching prospects from Capps. If Capps becomes good, then anything except keeping him would be seen as a failure.
