Unfortunately he isn't hitting at all in the mexican winter league.

He should get a pretty aggressive assignment for 2020 as he did dominate the DSL last year, but at the age of 20.

At least they aren't responsible for any errors, omissions or inconsistencies. Maybe they'll bring him back Jung Ho style.

I guess I can see this happening with all the changes going on in management but you would think someone would remember to check these before they were printed.

Evidently, these are not from the Pirates organization. Obviously, a licensed vendor however. Probably printed well before he was arrested.

As mentioned in the Super panther thread, the kangaroo's all hated, all decade team 2010-2019

C: Rod Barajas. 99 stolen base attempts. 6 caught stealing. Conversion rate: 6%. OPS of 625. WAR -1.0. What a giant pile of crap.
1B: Ike Davis. Gabby Sanchez deserves an honorable mention for being completely useless and leaving a giant void on really good teams. But I hate everything about him. His stupid approach. His stupid laziness. His stupid face.
2B: Walker. This is a tough one because generally speaking, pirates had a good run at 2b in the decade (Walker, Harrison, Frazier). However, walker was a big dodint about his back and also acted like a big dodint when the pirates didn't give him an extension he didn't deserve.
SS: Clint Barmes narrowly beats out Ronny Cedeno. Good for you, clint
3B: Colin Moran: Not a lot of turnover at this position (Pedro, Jung Ho, and Moran basically). Luckily I hate moran's beard, his pansy ass approach at the plate, and his sloth like movements in the field.
OF: Jose Tabata
OF: Gregory Polanco-You know, Polanco really isn't that bad when he isn't hurt, isn't slumping, and isn't wrecking his shoulder and ankle in one slide.
OF: John **** Jaso

SP: Jeff Locke
SP: Erik Bedard-human rain delay. Canadian.
SP: Chris Archer-Good person, ruined franchise.
SP: James McDonald. Will 2020 be the year he turns a corner?
SP: Kevin Correia: Thanks for being a big dodint in 2012

RP: Jenmar Gomez
RP: Stolmy Pimentel-Why did GMNH put him on the DL for so many fake injuries when he sucked?
RP: Daniel Hudson-Somehow teams only slugged 409 against him in 2017
RP: Ernesto Frieri. He sucked and his name is really stupid.
RP: Dovydas: Pro: Eastern European, got into a fight after a game in Toledo. Con: Very bad, wore #66 in Pittsburgh
RP: Clayton Holmes. Is it that hard to throw stirkes? I guess.
RP: Honorable mention for every reliever that pitched an inning 2019. Thanks for wasting my summer, dadholes.

Bench:
Catcher: Jacob Stallings-you may not be that bad, but your dad sucks so you made the list.
Brandon Inge: 442 OPS in 110 at bats.
Sean Rodriguez: No comment. Actually, no, I do have a comment-you suck.
Steve Pearce: I hated that you got so many chances in Pittsburgh and did nothing with them. Then you left and carved out a 10 year career.
Ryan Ludwick-Trade deadline acquisition: 671 OPS as a pirate, 26 homeruns and 877 OPS the next year in Cinci.

Gr8 post. Not necessarily the worst players but just pure, sometimes rational, hatred.

1st base has to be the hardest call imo. Overbay (was he this decade?), laroche? Gaby? Clement? Ishikawa?

Garrett Jones the most likeable there possibly?

Barajas at C is the easiest call imo.

And what did Jeanshorts do to you?
