The Pirates continue to prepare for a news conference tomorrow to name Neal Huntington their new general manager. There was a report yesterday that the Pirates are reconsidering their choice because president Frank Coonelly is upset that Huntington's name became public a few days ago. "We are not changing direction or rethinking our position," Coonelly said in a statement. "Instead, we are moving forward with our search process in an extremely thorough and deliberate manner. That indicates Huntington, a special assistant to general manager Mark Shapiro of the Cleveland Indians, will become the official selection tomorrow -- Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
