John Perrotto's Pirates Season Ending Report Card

Another Pirates' season is over and what a season it was -- for a lot of reasons.

It went from the highs of the Pirates going from 105 losses in 2010 to leading the National League Central as late as July 26. Then the plummet started and it never ended until the Pirates finished 72-90 for thekir 19th consecutive losing season, finishing in fourth place in the division, 24 games behind the champion Milwaukee Brewers and just one game in front of the fifth-place Chicago Cubs.

So, now it's time to pass out grades, limiting it to the 13 players with the most plate appearances who finished the season with the Pirates and the 12 pitchers with the most innings:

Pedro Alvarez -- Nobody on this team was a bigger disappointment as he completely flopped and left questions about how much impact he could make in the future. Grade: F

Stats Watch: Batted .191 with 4 home runs - 19 RBI’s on the season. Batted .173 (19-for-11) with 2 home runs - 9 RBI’s following the All-Star Break.

Ronny Cedeno -- Grade: D

Kevin Correia -- He had a good year until the bottom fell out in early July, which means one day 25 years from now someone will be surfing baseball-reference.com and say to himself, "Kevin Correia was really selected to an All-Star Game?"

Stats Watch: Went 12-11 with a 4.77 ERA. 1-4 with a 7.23 ERA following All-Star break.

Ryan Doumit -- He still couldn't catch a lick and he had his annual serious injury but no one can deny that he swung the bat great when healthy. Grade: A

Stats Watch: Hit .303 with 8 home runs - 30 RBI’s in 77 Games. Batted .328 (41-for-125) following the All-Star Break.
