trout plays for a lovely team that never makes the playoffs. that’s why he’s comparatively unknown, no need to overthink it

Kind of apropos of nothing but i’m thinking about where the farm system is, and how good Ke’Bryan Hayes is, and I genuinely don’t think the Pirates rebuild is going to last as long as most fans fear. they’ll be quite bad this season, respectable next season, and good in 2023.

"Infielder," while technically correct, kind of gives the wrong impression of the type of player Apostel is. He’s strictly 1B / DH and will need the bat to carry him

(not a criticism, i like him as a prospect and the power’s there).

trevor cahill to bucs.

rotation shaping up to be something like

Mitch Keller
Tyler Anderson
Steven Brault
Chad Kuhl
Trevor Cahill

With JT Brubaker next man up. Brubaker could really feast as a super-reliever.

Also wouldn’t mind seeing Kuhl go to the pen. i like him but he really has a tough time with LHB, could protect him a little more in relief

seems to be some skepticism he’ll have the endurance for a starter workload but he definitely looks like a valuable pitcher regardless, maybe a backend reliever. exciting

I don’t see how they could be bad at trading if you’re worried about what they’ll do with this guy they just traded for lol

He's also from a wealthy family given that his father played MLB baseball for something like 15 seasons. He is pretty unlikely to sign an early extension, though i hope the team ponies up and keeps trying.

Rocker has been penciled into the Pirates at #1 overall for so long that I'd imagine they've 98% got a deal in place. Even if Leiter is the better pitcher of the two, there's no way the Pirates will throw together a deal to sign him for what he can bring on short notice.

this doesn’t make any sense, nor does it correspond in any way to the team’s history in the draft

The Pirates will absolutely pick Leiter over Rocker for the exact same reason the Cardinals fan base loves Harrison Bader and hated Dexter Fowler.

I don’t understand this one. What would you say are some egregiously racist moments from Ben Cherington’s career or in the Pirates draft history?

sure the team that has already made Ke'Bryan Hayes the face of the franchise to follow former face of the franchise Andrew McCutchen clearly fears having to market the talents of black players.

If they pick Leiter it’s because they think he’s the better pitcher. Take the absurd speculation about racist plots and shove them up your rear end.

Unspeakably excited for a full season of Ke'Bryan Hayes at third base and Anthony Alford in center field.

Very eager to see what David Bednar can accomplish

Praying Keller puts it all together

There’s nothing to lose this season, and i’m going to enjoy it. plus i’ll get to be stoked about either Leiter or Rocker come June.
