You make it so tough to be a fan. You had one of the best producing outfields in the bigs, and were tantalizingly close to making it above .500. So what do you do? Sure, trade away the best you've got for more "prospects". But do we really care to see these prospects develop into stars, surrounded by one of the lowest payrolls in baseball, just so that they can, in turn, be traded away for other middling prospects? Will the Pirates ever win with Nutting at the helm? Help us, Mr. Cuban, you're our only hope. Oh, Pittsburgh…
