There are two types of General Managers in Major League Baseball. Ones that are revered through the good and the bad times, and those who are consistently criticized. Pittsburgh Pirates General Manager Neal Huntington is the latter. However, it is possible that this 2015 Pirates team may be the best one Huntington has put together during his almost eight years with the organization.
Since being named the 12th General Manager in team history in late 2007, Huntington has made some questionable decisions, some underrated ones, and ones that have made the Pirates a team to beat in the National League within the last few years.
