Just wanted to say I am very happy with the new direction that the Pirates are headed. The signing of 15 of 20 high draft picks (Alvarez, Mercer, Wilson, Miller, Farrell, Hague), and the infusion of talent through the recent trades into the organization as a whole is the direction that I wanted to see the Buccos go 7 years ago. I'm not going to get overly excited b/c who knows how this is going to turn out, but at least there seems to be some light at the end of the tunnel!
