Prior to the start of the 2015 season, I was often critical of the Pittsburgh Pirates' Pedro Alvarez. Well, I was wrong.

The 2014 PirateFest Autograph Session Schedules were announced, and Sid Bream and Mike LaValliere are set to meet again at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 14.
With the Black Friday rush fading into the rear view mirror, it seems appropriate to discuss what the Pittsburgh Pirates want most for Christmas 2014.
The Pittsburgh Pirates need a minimum of one more arm to anchor their starting rotation going into the 2015 season. That arm needs to be Francisco Liriano.
Earlier this week, the Pittsburgh Pirates announced that Francisco Cervelli had been acquired from the New York Yankees in exchange for LHP Justin Wilson.
Make no mistake, the Pittsburgh Pirates want to re-sign Russell Martin. Wanting and doing are two completely different things, however.
Many media members and fans are calling for the heads of the Cal U Football coaching staff, who permitted the program to lose control. That's a cop out.
There's no question that Francisco Liriano followed a near career season in 2013 with a solid 2014 campaign, but perhaps the Pirates should walk away.
Reports are surfacing that the Pittsburgh Pirates plan to make a qualifying offer to Russell Martin ahead of Monday's 5 p.m. deadline.
