Where does Jones fit in 2011 and what can Milledge improve on?
According to the Pittsburgh-Post Gazette;
General Manager Neal Huntington was asked where Garrett Jones might play in 2011:
“The best fit might be a platoon — a platoon at right, a platoon at first, a platoon at both. We might be able to go get a right fielder and first baseman via trade. We might be able to go get an upgrade somewhere [else] on the field via trade. We might put all the money, all the resources into pitching. It’s going to be an interesting offseason. We know that we’re going to work hard to supplement this group.
“At the same time, we just can’t throw $55 million at somebody just because it makes us feel better. We’ve got to believe he makes us a better [club]. We’ve got to believe, whether it’s $2 million, $10 million or something higher, that this guy is ideally a multi-year fit, or in the interim fills a hole we can’t fill internally.
GM Neal Huntington was also asked on what Lastings Milledge needs to improve on if he expects to play for the Pirates in 2011:
