When people (other than front line names) are out with injuries, I tend to forget them. I would guess Kingham, with the thought his recovery is further along than the other two. Note that I may well be wrong on the recovery status though.

I thought we'd seen the end of Brandon Cumpton. Good luck to him.

yeah I'd forgotten about him, after missing two full seasons

Pirates have a ton of AAAA type pitchers without dominating stuff if Cumpton and Sadler are able to bounce back.

I guess you can add Angel Sanchez to the mix as well.

as I see his is also on the non roster spring training invite list

missed all of 2016 after an interesting 2015. I'm guessing he had TJ surgery too?

Duncan is intriguing, Waddell was bad when he moved up from A+, so I wouldn't expect anything from him.

yeah I thought the same thing upon glancing at his stats. But then I looked at his splits and game log. and he seemed to adjust to AA in July.

still just 22 and a lefty.

It's not a small thing, being able to call up a guy for a start or three and expect a representative performance.

i saw Dickson twice at Altoona live, not good either time, overall stats looks like he has a rough time with control with 6 BB/9.

I posed a question about Waddle to Keith Law in one of his chats, his response was something like "just a guy, throws strikes"
