Now that i think about it, Giles could arguably be a top 5 Pirate of all time.

If only he ate innings like he did donuts.

Canonsburg, I think an argument can definitely be made. Folk tend to discount this era of the Buccos because of the win/loss ineptitude.
Ralph Kiner isn't discounted despite playing for some of the worst Pirates teams in history.
