4-3 now and our old pal Shelby Miller is pitching for the Pirates.

Ahhhh the once coveted Shelby M on the comeback

Curious if Drew Anderson has a crack at making the rotation next year?
I like his low to mid 90s fastball. Has a good change up with movement and a decent slider. Curveball to boot.
He has shown to have decent stamina as well.

Woodward s job must be on the line as he 100 % plays to win but can't

don't know but he could easily be a casualty due the team needing to clear 40-man roster spots

Not his fault. Got no tools to win with.

I would be a little disappointed.
He seems like a sleeper candidate to turn into a very good pitcher.

I feel the same about several guys being sleepers.

Yonny and Peters for a start

i agree but we have to make some moves just to get below 40, clear some spaces for Rule 5 candidates and to sign a couple of FA's

How is PIT not ahead of BAL or ARI

 

[DTC]

Yonny and Peters for a start

I like yonny. Especially as a lead off hitter with big bats behind him.

I like Peters hard at it approach and his big bat but feel he will never be able to hit enough to eclipse a .750 OPS. I could be very wrong tho. And I hope I am.

That is why we labeled them sleepers.

No doubt

Sad that may wake up on another team.

 

[DT LUNA]

Sborz should lock down a loss.

 

[darrylgann]

Pit back in front

How is Holt contributing to the rebuild?

I think there’s room to carry both. Taveras has one more minor league option. Would be nice to see him at AA succeeding. At least to start the year. We could still sign an OF and keep everyone happy too.
Also Bubba Thompson is coming on strong with that .800+ OPS at AA which I believe is a harder league than AAA.

Between Ibanez, Solak, IKF and Yonny..I believe someone will get traded. Especially if we plan on adding a SS and promoting Jung.

Maybe we can swing a trade for MJ Melendez haha
