Power Pirate:

Brian Giles has the third most HR as an outfielder this year, 28, only behind Sosa and Berkman who are tied at 31. (This is batting as an outfielder, only.) This is Giles 4th season with the Pirates. He's a player you should build a franchise around, but he's 31 years old and his best years are probably behind him. It took a long time for the Pirates to replace Bonds, but once they did, the intelligent management wasn't there to take advantage of this star.

Players seem to be extending their productivity later into their careers. Maybe it's not too late for Giles to lead this team to a championship.
