He would've abused the Clemente Wall. A bunch of guys who were key parts of the 2013-2015 competitive Bucs teams had their best years as Pirates. AJ Burnett had his only All-Star season with the Pirates. Yes, the management is cheap and the current GM and the one before Huntington are jokes, but generally speaking, good players are good players anywhere. The only guys I can think of off top of my head who excelled after being Pirates are the pitchers who went to the Astros - Cole and Morton. Having a hard time thinking of anyone else in the past 20 years. [/QUOTE]
