From the beginning of my time at Bucs Dugout, I’ve always had my email address linked to my profile. As a result, I’ve gotten some … interesting engagement. My first email from Bucs Nation was along the lines of GIRLS DON’T KNOW NOTHIN’ ABOUT BASEBALL HURR HURR HURR. Since then, though, it’s been a pleasure to deal with you guys. Normally I just email back and forth, but today one of my more regular correspondents posed an excellent question that I thought deserved further attention.
If it took former General Manager Neal Huntington until season No. 6 to turn the Pittsburgh Pirates into a playoff team, how long do you think it will take current Pirates General Manager Ben Cherington?
