Skenes ROY acceptance speech from yesterday. He's the total package, hoping he's a pirate for his career, slim chance but I'm hoping.

More from "Baseball Wit and Wisdom" while we await the arrival of the trucks, as Kliesen notes below, "filled with gear and dreams," aimed toward Bradenton:

"Humanity is the keystone that holds nations and men together. When that collapses, the whole structure crumbles. This is as true of baseball teams as any other pursuit in life."

- Connie Mack, Manager of the A's from 1901-1950 (!)

Thanks Anthony for putting out some great content during the cold, dreary days of late January. It’s much appreciated by us in the BoD squad.

Soon enough there will be trucks being filled with gear and dreams headed towards Bradenton. And all will seem right in the world again.

Until then, I salute you for your efforts Mr. Murphy.

Think it is pretty much a done deal that the Pirates will not make a trade before the beginning of Spring Training. I would love to think that Ke'Bryan Hayes and Jack Suwinski will get their acts together in 2025, hopefully similar to their 2023 season's - Hayes 3.2 fWAR and GG, and Suwinski 2.6 fWAR. Also hoping we can get 250+ AB for Billy Cook and Nick Yorke in 2025.
