Had the Pirates not made trades, this is a possible lineup for the buccos if they had ponied up money to keep players instead.
1B - Garrett Jones
2B - Fredddy Sanchez
SS - Jack Wilson
3B - Aramis Ramirez
LF - Jason Bay
CF - Andrew McCutchen
RF - Nate McLouth
C - Ryan Doumit
SP - Chris Young
SP - Zach Duke
SP - Ian Snell
SP - Paul Maholm
SP - Ross Ohlendorf
RP - Mike Gonzalez
A bit more power at the corner infield spots, but is this team drastically different from the one that took the field this year? Doumit and Chris Young are injury prone. Snell is a head case, and could be replaced on the "trade team" by Oliver Perez or Jason Schmidt LOL.
Let's not forget the irreplaceable Xavier Nady, Adam LaRoche or Eric Hinske, or Damaso Marte. All players people were up in arms about us trading but really what did we give up?
