Joggin' George Hendricks!!! is my bet.
If that’s the case get Bob Kipper back for some “lights out” middle relief.
"Round-Tripper" Kipper?
HR's were him!!
I’ll see your joggin’ George and raise you an “operation shutdown” Derek Bell.
MJG, you got me there sir
I fold!
But wait, no,.......
I just found two more cards sir:
Six-Gun Sixto Joaquin Lezcano
AND
Steve Kemp!
He averaged a little over one HR allowed per appearance one year.
He played in something like 10 games over 2 seasons. And probably has a Rated Rookie Donruss card.
Reese McGuire & Mark Appel say hello!
I played in a summer college league with a kid who played against Bradley and Burnett. Those two went to the same high school and were back-to-back first-round picks for the Pirates. He said that he went 2 for 4 with a couple walks against them and that they were both good but we're not first-round caliber players.
Sadly those aren't even their two worst picks in the last 30 years in the first round.
I’ll take “A blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while” for $400 Alex.
Musgrove's best asset was his grit. If he pitched as tough as he was, he would have been a number 1. Instead he is a number 3.
I googled Reese to see what happened to him and this was one of the first results. Some good stuff.

Your guys aren't even in the top ten worst free agent signings by the franchise. My guy is numero uno. Although, sure, your picks were pre 2000.
Buccos Worst Signings
PLayed with Lastings in a mens 35+ tournament last fall, dude is a stud, just couldn't put it all together in MLB
It's actually a pretty good trade but like any trade for prospects they need to develop and that's where the Pirates have the issue
As the fire sale 🔥 in Pittsburgh continues, I would look for Jamison to be placed on the clearance rack. The Buccos should have a decent high single A team in Pittsburgh. Let's go Bucs!!!
He will get traded and he'll bring back a decent Prospect maybe even two. It all depends on what team wants to take a chance with a guy who's had Tommy John multiple times
They will trade him mid season after he shows he is healthy. Get more for him then.
Was at a Stiller/Raider gm in Pitt a few yrs ago and a season ticket holder since 73, told me the Wild card gm against the Reds was as an electric crowd as any Steeler game he's ever been to.. Buccos are an historic franchise, their name is littered across Baseball history, First all Black lineup, first world series ever featured the Pirates, first world series night gm, and on and on. Hopefully those of us that enjoyed 79 can party once again like it's 1979, "We are Family"2 -4 years from now, I guess we'll all have our answers.
Until then, I will still support them.
In 1971 & 1979 I celebrated with 500,000 people or more in from of the Hilton Hotel and Point State park!
It would be way cooooool to do it once again.
Yankees land RHP Taillon in trade with Pirates
The Yankees have acquired pitcher Jameson Taillon in a trade with the Pirates, adding another bounce-back candidate to their rotation.
Even without them being high level prospects I can't believe that they got four guys for him. He sent two Tommy John surgeries and cancer so he's great story but I'm not sure how much he can give.Yankees land RHP Taillon in trade with Pirates

Wow, that was quick. Good for him to go to a real team. I hope he does exceptionally well. Poor guy has been through hell and deserves great success.Yankees land RHP Taillon in trade with Pirates

Yeah, thought there would be little interest until he showed some success. Musta looked good in workouts.
JaMo was a classy guy. I wish him nothing but the best. With that said, I think the Pirates did pretty well with what we got in return. Ben has really restocked nicely. Hopefully the restoration of the Pirates won't take another 10 years or longer. Frazier is probably next on the block.
Baseball's economic system is broken to the point that there will never be parity in MLB. There is no motivation to change the economic system. Small market teams will turn a profit whether they win or lose as long as they maintain a low payroll (and Bob Nutting will gladly do so). Big market teams love having small market teams as defacto 2nd minor league systems.

“The Pirates traded still-somehow-promising at 29 but oft-broken starter Jameson Taillon to the Yankees today, where he will join another lost Pirate jewel, Gerrit Cole, in their rotation. The actual trade of Taillon doesn’t amount to much more than urinating on the ashes of a burned-down house.”

It’s tough being a Pirates fan that’s for sure.
