Four reasons why the Pirates are losers:

1. They are poor evaluators of talent. Their first-round picks struggle to make it to the majors.

2. They are poor developers of talent. How do you build up a pitcher’s arm when you only pitch him three innings per outing?

3. They don’t manage well. Derek Shelton is the only person in the world who thinks O’Neil Cruz is a leadoff batter.

4. They don’t spend money to acquire proven talent.
