Neal Huntington's job is anything but safe.
I've now communicated with five sources Wednesday evening regarding the state of the Pirates' front office after Frank Coonelly's forced exit and, although the sources didn't all take precisely the same path -- that seldom happens -- all five concurred with the following conclusions:
• Huntington's job status is tenuous at best.
• His fate will be decided by incoming team president Travis Williams., who unequivocally will have the right to choose his GM, just as Bob Nutting allowed Coonelly to choose Huntington in 2007.
