As good of a SP as Skenes is, I think they have to take Crews unless he craters later.

<t>How crazy would it be to use 8 guys that pitch 3-4 innings/75-80 pitches per game, piggybacked with one of the others where they pitch every 4th day?<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> If you have a top line starter that can regularly give you 6 good innings, you wouldn’t do this. But if you don’t and you do...

79-83,

635 runs

<t>My preferences in tiers -<br/> <br/> [olist]Jones, Green, Parada<br/> <br/> Johnson, Holliday, Lee<br/> <br/> Collier, Berry[/olist]<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> There aren’t any pitchers worth having near the top with all of the injuries this spring, IMO. If BC follows his trend (college hitter first)...

<t>I got to see him play once, as a 6 year old, at Three Rivers. It was my first baseball game. It left a mark on me, but back home in CT, I didn’t see the Pirates any more until the World Series. Seeing the team and him there on TV made the Pirates my team for life and had me doing everything I cou...

I think they have about $170k left for over slot spending assuming Kellington signs. If he doesn’t, that drops to ~$141k. So, they can safely sign Bishop for $266k regardless of Kellington. If they get Kellington at/under slot, Bishop can get $295k (or more).

I'll be surprised if he's moved. I think building around him and Hayes makes a lot of sense. But if he is traded, they better be getting a Chris Archer kind of return.

5th rounder Jackson Glenn signed for $12.5k, $410k under slot.



8th rounder Sean Sullivan signed for $175k, $17.9k under slot.



They have about $3.55M left to sign Solometo, White, Chandler, Kellington, and any of the later over slot guys.
