Pirates 2010 Record 66-96 (Last in NL Central)

The Pirates made a bunch of nice low risk signings in the off-season by bringing in Bobby Crosby, D.J. Carrasco, Brendan Donnelly, Ryan Church, Akinori Iwamura, and Octavio Dotel. They should improve slightly in 2010 but will endure their 18th consecutive losing season.
