I'm not jumping to any conclusions about Davis. The situation was confusing enough after they brought him up. Shelton was on MLB Network with Brian Kenney today. About the most significant thing he said was Cruz was in the DR playing, hitting, running, stealing bases, playing short stop and moving w...

I thought the biggest hurdle for Cuban was the good old boys club won't let him in.

I think his arsenal and mindset are pure relief pitcher. I think it's best keeping him what he appears best suited to do.

Quickly perusing MLB.com this morning, I noticed the featured articles were mostly about where free agents might sign and about which teams are in the running or are pursuing those players. Then there was an article on the Pirates, but its theme was about how David Bednar was in the forefront of th...

A gift would be nice.

But what do you get a guy who is so old, you've seen the invention of everything?

As long as the games are televised, it matters not to me. Inside Pirates Baseball has some occasional interesting stuff, but it's not a baseball show, it's pretty much a fluff cheerleading show. Regardless what the merits of the hosts are, I still like the pre and post game shows, even if I find McK...

Lance Lynn gets a one year 11 million dollar deal. That's the going rate for "veteran" I guess. I read incentives, and an team option could make it a 25 million dollar deal. For Lance Lynn. Think about it. If Skenes, Chandler, Solometo, Burrows, etc. all don't hit and at about the same tim...

Phillies announced the signing of Aaron Nola to a 7-yr 175 million contract. That is a $24 million annual average. What would would say if the Bucs extended Keller for that annual amount? If the Bucs had non tendered Keller and he became a free agent, I don't think he'd get that amount from anyone....

Japan: Gregory Polanco tied two others for most homers (26) in NPB's Pacific League. Jose Osuna hit 23 in the Central League. Korea: Anthony Alford went 15-70-.289 for the KT Wiz and Jason Martin went 17-90-.283 for the NC Dinos. Four names from the recent past. Seems like all of them did well over...

So this is in part for The Wizard, but anyone else also. The most notable issues the Pirates have done with their off season roster: The Pirates left three players who were part of their top 30 prospects go unprotected, Matt Gorski, Malcom Nunez, and Jase Bowen. They non-tendered Hunter Stratton and...
