First off, let me say how much we appreciate your readership, thought-provoking opinions, and dedication to sharing and commenting on the site and social media. To you, we say thank you.

The Pittsburgh Pirates have hit Bradenton in full force. There are tons of storylines swirling about the team. Here’s a look at our best from the previous week as we work to keep you informed on those stories:

• On each day that the Pirates play a non-televised spring training game, Pirates Breakdown will bring you that game’s highlights as well as post-game comments from coaches and players alike. Here’s our latest Sights and Sounds entry, and you can catch up on previous highlights right here.
• Jason Rollison wondered if the Pirates in April will resemble a crock-pot or a microwave.
• Justin Frazee took an illuminating, in-depth look at the disparity between paychecks between a major league player and a minor league warrior.
• Zack D’Ulise brought you his first Friday Focus piece – a weekly look at the Pirates uniform and gear trends.
• Joy Frank-Collins compiled her weekly Pirates social media round-up, tracking the team’s activities while in Bradenton.
• Justin Kosanko pointed out some awfully similar stats between Austin Meadows and Mike Trout.
• Tyler Thomas wondered if the team needs to partake in any last minute shopping.
