<t>Neither the Pirates or fan base seem overly discontented with any one position, yet the sum of the parts - the team as a whole - has proven to be insufficient, particularly with the division they're in.  They need to make some improvements. They need someone with 2015-2016 Jung Ho Kang-like numbe...

<t>To the original question, I do think Marte has been an influence on Polanco, and generally not for the better.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> Super small sample size and possibly a terrible idea, but Dickerson has played 27 games in CF and has fielded 1.000% in those games. Marte and Harrison's combined ...

<t>Such polarizing views on this trade - I am a little surprised.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> Both sides are purely speculative of course, and while I do wish the PTBNL was a lesser prospect, I still like the overall trade. Without posting the wall of text I had originally typed out my feelings can be su...

Last I saw was 'day-to-day with finger discomfort' as well. X-rays were negative so hopefully it is nothing more than that. He jammed/stubbed it on the base when diving back to first on a pick-off throw.

<t>How do they define an unsigned "player"? I would think it would have to be a pretty narrow scope in order to not have hundreds (if not thousands) of participants. Even if they restricted it to players with MLB service time surely there are hundreds of washouts who would jump all over the opportun...
