Apparently, in an interview with MLB commissioner Bud Selig, a Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reporter asked a relatively edgy question: Are the Pirates stockpiling profit? Selig’s answer was predictable, and kind of funny:
Selig: The (Pirates’) Kids Are All Right
↵↵“I know how painful this is for the fans in Pittsburgh,” Selig said by phone from his office in Milwaukee. “But, in watching this management team the past couple of years and how aggressive they’ve been and how they’re restocking the farm system, that’s where they had to start. And if they weren’t doing it, you’d hear from me.”
↵↵I actually agree with Bud on one point — the Pirates under Neal Huntington are making serious strides in building the team’s core of young players. They deserve credit.
↵But the notion that if something was amiss Selig would be all over it is pretty classic. Because Bud’s never sat back and let anything bad happen to Major League Baseball before. Right.
