Neal Huntington has been risk averse in his tenure as the Pittsburgh Pirates general manager. He’s rarely traded big time prospects, with the move for Chris Archer being uncharacteristic, and he’s not been able to reach the finish line in other big names such as Jon Lester, David Price, or Jose Quintana. He’s brought in big names such as Francisco Liriano, a former top 10 prospect, and A.J. Burnett, signed a three-year deal worth $28.6 million before 2006 with the Blue Jays and a five-year deal worth $82.
