Of course, if he’s really producing, that could put a monkey wrench in the works.


With the way our roster's going to look we probably won't have any trouble finding someone to release if Neil is performing well.

You make a very good point, this team needs some veteran presence, and someone who is respected by the younger players. On the other hand a player such as Puig is not a good guy to bring into the Pirates current situation.
