NorthWoods Posted March 20 Posted March 20 20 hours ago, Tiger337 said: Everybody knows he is unproven and might disappoint. Not all prospects are the same though. He's not Ryan Kreidler nor Pittaro. Pittaro was never a top prospect. He had a .696 minor league OPS. Sparky Anderson just liked him and decided to pump him up. I think it might have had something to do with Anderson noticing that the championship team was not as motivated as they should have been in Spring training and he wanted to shake things up. Surely he knew that Pittaro was not the next big star. Don't call me Shirley. Quote
