See, I would have a few places, and to me, the biggest challenge would be finding a place that I know...

that most of my friends would be willing to do.

Because if I pick a place that I love, but only a couple people want to come and several others ultimately decline because it's too much of a hassle, then I'm not going to have nearly as good of a time as if I did something that's just a little easier and closer to home.

You definitely have to go outside the city though, right?

Oh, for sure I would.

I've gone to bachelor parties just

I think the Pirates would be surprised, the front office, that is.

that if they don't bring back Andrew McCutcheon, it won't be like some heartbreaker across the fan base.

Yeah.

I mean, maybe some people, sure, but it won't be like an overwhelming, I can't believe these guys, they didn't bring back Andrew McCutcheon.

We got three years of the reunion tour, okay?

And I get when bands do that, you know, I think the Rolling Stones have been on their last reunion tour since like the year I was born, and here we are 30 years later, and they're still rolling.

I don't think people would really be all that upset if Kutch doesn't come back.

I agree.

For somebody at his age, sure, putting up okay-slash-decent numbers, somebody in his late 30s, really, really close to retirement,

But that's not really what the Pirates need.

I mean, if he wants to come back as some dude that's going to be on the bench a lot, fill in as a DH, maybe play a game or two out in the field, that's one thing.

They should not have him as some sort of priority of, hey, we're bringing Kutch back again.

He's going to be back in the lineup every day or as many days as he possibly can.

He should not be viewed as a starter.
