On another note... Cutch was just signed for a 6 year 51.5M extension... Talking about a hometown discount...

RE: OT: Pirates curse is real
I can't believe Burnett is already shelved with an orbital fracture. That's a really nasty injury, too, from what I understand.
I was kind of ho-hum on the trade in general. It was a win for the Pirates regardless of what happened with Burnett because we got ourselves another legit starter for nothing and had plenty of money to spend. At the same time, I didn't exactly expect him to come in and light the world on fire here.
Still, I'm really disappointed that he's injured already. Not only can the Pirates not catch a break, they really do seem cursed. Derek Lee came in last year and juiced two home runs in his first game and then after that got injured. I believe Ludwick was injured. Just nothing works out for this franchise.
Good news on the McCutchen signing, though. I really do believe this front office has the right game plan. It's just taking a LOT longer than anyone would have liked.
