<p>Pittsburgh Pirates photoshops is what we love to do.  So, we tried to wrangle up the best of the 2012 season thus far for you to enjoy. Which one is your favorite?</p>
<p>Stetson Allie was converted to a slugger,  sending reporters to question the decision making skills of the Pirates brass. Adding to the coolness of the entire situation, Allie came out swinging when he got a bat in his hand.</p>
<p><a href="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/4/files/2012/06/stetsonallieMLB151.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-34750" title="stetsonallieMLB15" src="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/4/files/2012/06/stetsonallieMLB151.jpg" alt="" width="562" height="629" /></a></p>
<p>Pedro Alvarez. Fascinating. Wonderfully, frustratingly,  fantastic.</p>
<p><a href="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/4/files/2012/06/061712abomb02.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-34742" title="061712abomb02" src="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/4/files/2012/06/061712abomb02.jpg" alt="" width="606" height="429" /></a></p>
<p>Kevin Correia generated more attention with how he looked on the bench.</p>
<p><a href="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/4/files/2012/06/kc1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-34735" title="kc" src="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/4/files/2012/06/kc1.jpg" alt="" width="833" height="580" /></a></p>
<p>Alvarez inspired a season-long &#8220;Pedro Bomb Watch&#8221; with this majestic blast that had an apex of 117 feet and traveled 403 feet.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-33865" title="PEDROALVAREZBOMB2012" src="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/4/files/2010/04/PEDROALVAREZBOMB2012.jpg" alt="" width="650" height="463" /></p>
<p>Andrew McCutchen. The Reason.</p>

<p>Pirates fans are still waiting for the Jose Tabata who looked so solid as a top of the order hitter.</p>
<p><a href="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/4/files/2012/06/josetabataclementetattoo.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-34549" title="josetabataclementetattoo" src="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/4/files/2012/06/josetabataclementetattoo.jpg" alt="" width="491" height="548" /></a></p>
<p>The Bucco bullpen has been nasty.</p>
<p><a href="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/4/files/2012/06/060712newnastyboys12.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-34548" title="060712newnastyboys12" src="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/4/files/2012/06/060712newnastyboys12.jpg" alt="" width="595" height="428" /></a></p>
<p>Brandon Phillips was so nice to the Bucs, we felt the urge to send a letter.</p>
<p><a href="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/4/files/2012/06/060712lettertophillips13.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-34553" title="060712lettertophillips13" src="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/4/files/2012/06/060712lettertophillips13.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="353" /></a></p>

<p>We looked at some basic peripheral pitching stats back in May when the Bucs were rolling, and saw a cause for concern.  We wrote<span style="color: #ff0000;"><a href="http://rumbunter.com/?p=34374" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff0000;"> this post</span></a></span>.  It sucks that it started turning out to be a reality.</p>

<p>Neal Huntington and the Buccos brass ignored everything and everyone, and took the best player available in the 2012 Draft.</p>
