Bill Brink has some good stuff up at the PG about the Pirates’ blueprint. Both his main article from yesterday about the “waves” of talent that the team is trying to create and his behind the scenes chat with Frank Coonelly (at PG+) that goes into detail about the payroll are worth your time, if you haven’t read them already.
At The Platoon Advantage, The Common Man nicely sums up what I hate about the Hall of Fame witch hunt at this time of year, especially as it currently relates to Jeff Bagwell.
MLB Trade Rumors says the Pirates could be a “dark horse” for Edwin Jackson. That’s probably not indicative of a whole lot at this point, but it says to me that they’re still looking for pitching. You probably already know that I think they need one more starter for their rotation right now, so I’ll keep on looking for any sign I can find that they’re trying to do that.
