Pirates Move on from Neal Huntington, but Does it Even Matter?

It’s been an offseason filled with changes for the Pittsburgh Pirates. It started when the team moved on from manager Clint Hurdle, as well as their pitching and bench coaches. The changes continued last week when the team announced, in a surprising decision, that team president Frank Coonelly would also no longer be a part of the team. Of course, with Coonelly gone, questions were quickly raised about the job status of general manager Neal Huntington, questions that were answered when the team fired him on Monday. After yet another disappointing year, these changes were almost certainly needed, but with owner Bob Nutting in place, do these moves even actually matter?
