The near-future of the franchise rests on five guys

<t>We can talk about core players as they are very important but you guys know it is always about pitching something the Pirates have little depth at. They are going to have to get very lucky with their staff as it is now. Musgrove is slowly working his way into being the ace of the staff. I have no...

I forgot to add that the Pirates played 4 outfielders for a batter yesterday. Looked like a softball game except the rover was playing pretty deep. I read somewhere that they might experiment with that in spring training.

<t>I did not get a chance to post anything yesterday but wanted to touch on Cruz's home run which was a long one to right-center. If this kid starts to consistently hits this year in the minors it is going to be hard for the Pirates to keep him there next year. I wonder if Tucker goes to Indianapoli...

4 outfielder shifts in 2020

<t>I am posting early today as the saga of losing continues. They are about to go down again and here is my impression of the game since they were televising it. I finally saw Polanco throw but I think he took something off of it because the guy doubled and he was trying to get the ball back in. At ...
