“A hodgepodge of nothingness” – Eck
Dennis Eckersley on the Pirates (roster construction, payroll, etc):
"You talk about a no-name lineup. There's no team like this."

Can’t day I disagree.
Don’t really give a fuck what this clown has to say. Not like he’s adding any real insight that we the fans don’t understand. Plus punching down on some dudes just trying to make a name for themselves is pointless
Breaking news: rebuilding team who has sold off all of their assets is bad
At least the Pirates don’t have a payroll above $200 million only to have a record below .500
I wish Madris would have ricoched a cannonball into their broadcast booth
The Red Sox got no hit for seven innings by the Pirates bullpen after he made this comment
He isn’t wrong. It is a no name lineup.

Forever more.
It’s not the Pirates fault Eckkie. Until the MLB does something about salary minimum, there are gonna be owners who use baseball franchises as a way of profit instead of putting a good product out for the fans. Nutting doesn’t care about the fans like other owners.
Until this league gets a salary minimum, it’s gonna be hard for teams like the Pirates, Royals, and Reds to compete. Even when they do get a solid lineup and pitching staff, their owners don’t give enough money to the GM’s to make the moves they want to make, causing a (usually) short window for cheap owned teams to compete.
