For being one of the most storied franchises in baseball history, the Pittsburgh Pirates have had a rough time as of late. Each of the past 18 seasons, due to desire to cut payroll and "rebuild," the team has not had a winning record.
Even with the 2011 season fast approaching and a good core of young talent, fans are not optimistic. No matter how well these players do, won't team management just trade them away?
Call me crazy, but I think that the young guns on the Pirates are out to make a statement. They have a new manager with a new approach, and the youth has the potential to make its presence known in the tough National League Central Division.
Let's take a look at the team's starters and determine this: will the Pittsburgh Pirates rage the high seas of the MLB again?
