Another Pirate's Season, Underway!

Alot of questions surround this young squad

After yet another losing season in 2009, and a year where they traded key players such as Nate McClouth, Freddy Sanchez, and Jack Wilson, many Pirates fans are left to wonder, "What is there to look forward to?" And quite frankly, the answer may be hard to find. The Pirates lack a sure fire ace, and an everyday leader on the field for this young squad.

Let's take a look at major off-season move for the Pirates:

Acquired/Re-signed: Akinori Iwamura, Chris Jakubauskas, Wilfredo Ledezma, Vinnie Chulk, Bobby Crosby, John Raynor, Javier Lopez, Ryan Church, Brian Bass, Luke Carlin, Bryan Myrow
Lost: Luis Cruz, Chris Bootcheck, Jesse Chavez, Eric Hacker, Phil Dumatrait, Matt Capps

Although none of these moves were very substantial, it should be interesting to see what direction the Pirates take this year. Maybe, (with a wish and a prayer) they can compete in a relatively weak N.L Central this season. Otherwise, watch for them to trade any player performing well in order to bulk up an already strong minor league system. Either way, it will be interesting to see what Pirates show up this year. So be sure to tune in tomorrow to see the Pirates battle the Los Angelos Dodgers!
