I was thinking about the struggles Nick Gonzalez had last year, and Henry Davis had this season in the Majors. I remember a comment Neal Huntington made while GM for the Pirates saying position players need between 1200 and 1500 at bats in the minor league level, I looked up Cutch, Marte as well as ...

I think Matt Gorski is a player to keep an eye on in Indy. Last night he hit a pair of homers, and lately he has been hitting very well. He can play first base or the outfield. If he stays hot he could get a call up in June.

I think the Pirates like to go with a 13 man pitching staff, so I will give you my best 13 position players. 1B Joe/Lamb 2B Nick G 3B Hayes SS Cruz C Grandal/Bart LF Suwinski CF Taylor/Bae RF Reynolds DH Cutch Bench Olivares I think it will be several more weeks until we see Davis back in Pittsburgh...

Bae has been very successful at Indy thus far this season, and it is time to add him to the 26 man roster. Send Williams down, and once Hayes is ready to return from the IL send Triolo to Indy. The Pirates starting pitching has been very good lately, but they need to score more runs so possibly they...

McAdoo and Johnson each had three hit days in this afternoon’s Grasshopper win. Johnson has been struggling a bit, but the three hit day may get him rolling. McAdoo who was a draft choice last summer has hit very well last year after signing, and has been very good with the Grasshoppers this season....

Pirates need fresh meat. Bring on the Lamb ! This afternoon’s game was a very low point for Tellez. Two double plays and a strikeout with men on base. His confidence has to be very low, and the Pirates cannot continue put him in the starting lineup. I would not be surprised to see Jake Lamb in Pitt...

I know many believe the Bucs won’t eat the remaining money on his contract, but I think his time with the Pirates is about over. I would not be shocked if today was his last game as a Pirate.

I will admit it, but I thought Nick would have been traded this past offseason for pitching help. Since his arrival from Indy, I am glad the Pirates did not move him. He appears to be a much better hitter than he was last season. He had two good hits this afternoon, but I was really impressed with t...

I agree he looks lost at the plate. Four strikeouts tonight.

I will admit when I heard that the Pirates signed Tellez in December, I thought he might bring power to the lineup and zero in on the Clemente Wall. As of now, he has been a huge disappointment. In my opinion,if he doesn’t break out of his slump by the end of this important road trip, his days as a ...
