pirates vs cardinals thread

I'll throw the first and possibly most exciting offseason topic out there..... The signing of mr Abreu, the newest Cuban defector with reportedly the biggest upside and most question marks... Power hitting 1st baseman with not just light pole power, but light pole on the next block power..... The Pirates are reportedly one of 5 finalists for his services, along with Boston, the White Sox, Baltimore, and Texas. With the Rangers seen as having a slight advantage in the race.

He probably likes a warmer climate.

If not him what about a guy like James Loney? Not a lot of power but hits for average
