I know I'll probably get slammed for this, but does anyone think the 2007 Pirates can at least compete into the month of September? They showed signs of coming around under Jim Tracy in the 2nd half last year, and much like the Tigers in '04 and '05, they have young pitching who has taken their lumps, but may be in a position to take a step forward this coming season. They have a legit power hitter in the middle of the lineup in Bay, speed at the top with Duffy, and solid hitters such as Sanchez, Jack Wilson, Paulino, and Nady throughout. The talk is they want to get a lefty bat with decent pop to add as well. Don't get me wrong, I by no means am thinking World Series or even playoffs really...I just would like to think they can at least stay competitive into the later months, and hopefully break their string of losing seasons. Thoughts?
