The Pirates weren't "built by high draft picks" like Tampa. Yes we had high
picks byproduct of 20 loosing seasons but McCutchen was 11th over all as
was Walker two years later. Cole and Alvarez were high picks but to say
drafting is the reason for the Bucs success is a misstatement. Signings
like Liriano and getting AJ from the Yankees and having the bombers pay
more than half his salary for a pair of career minor leaguers.
