Pirate fans are really pissed off about this deal.

I would be too.

McLouth is basicallt their franchise player and key outfielder as well. They traded off Xavier Nady last year, and now McLouth this year.

Now they have Adam LaRoche and Jack Wilson, neither of which are performing lights out this year, but LaRoche is doing alright.
