I'm sorry to hear about Rowdy. I thought he was a good fit for the Pirates.I hope the way the pirates cut him loose, does not discourage another player from joining the team next season.

The creeps got rid of A. Chapman, one of the best relievers ever and still strong. That's the owners onvery the last 30 or more yrs.
