In June of 2009, the Pittsburgh Pirates traded away their best player. This player was center fielder Nate McLouth. The reason that former general manager Neal Huntington made this trade was to make room for the team’s top prospect – center fielder Andrew McCutchen.
It did not take long for McCutchen to make an impact with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Quickly, McCutchen solidified himself as one of the best players in the game. To this day, he is still an elite hitter. However, in his 2009 rooked season the future National League MVP was robbed.
