On the bright side, they fleeced the Nationals pretty well. Not that Milledge will definitely work out, but they didn't give anything up to get him. Quit it! Now you're being like one of the experts.
Whether the Pirites got the better of that deal or not, it simply doesen't matter.
If Milledge pans out he will be successful with the Pirites for two months, upon being traded for another suspect who may do the same.
If he doesen't pan out, he will be moved to another organization for nothing.
They are run like a cheap pawn shop. They keep objects(players) that won't sell in inventory and turn over the good merchandise quickly.
Which is why that cheap pawn shop stays a cheap pawn shop and why the Pirites will remain the Pirites.
