During the Littlefield era, people would find out that I was a Pirate fan and response, "Really? I wasn't sure the Pirates still existed." Now, the response is, "How can you still cheer for a team that always trades away all of its best players?" That's Huntington couldn't care less about projecting a facade of "professionalism," and he's instead focused on rebuilding the Pirates the best way he sees fit. There are still a lot of questions to be answered and until the Pirates start competing Huntington hasn't actually accomplished anything, but all told I certainly prefer his approach to the prior one.
