GERRIT COLE RUMORS & GOSSIP
Pirates’ Liriano, Cole to Provide a Genuine Top of the Rotation
Tuesday, the Pittsburgh Pirates announced that Francisco Liriano would be the team’s Opening Day starter for the 2014 season.
“[Liriano] is another guy that models the behavior we want to instill in others,” Bucs manager Clint Hurdle said of the announcement. “He does it a different way than Cutch, but he does it. Every day he does it.
“He’s a man you can depend on,...

Player Profile #101: Gerrit Cole | SP | PIT
In his first two years in the minors, Gerrit Cole was a dominant strikeout pitcher. He played at four levels in 2011 and 2012, and he fanned a batter per inning at all of them. Then 2013 rolled around and Cole’s Ks disappeared.
In 12 starts at AAA to begin last year, Cole struck out just 6.22 batters per nine, and his 17.5 K% was far below the 25%+ rate we’d come to expect. The...

Gerrit Cole and curveballs
The Pirates' quiet winter means that if the Pirates are going to get back to the playoffs in 2014, they're going to have to do it by improving internally. The good news is that it's relatively easy to find young players on the Pirates capable of doing that, and the obvious player to start with is Gerrit Cole.

There has been some speculation the last few days that the Pirates could skip Gerrit Cole’s next start, going with a four man rotation for the next week due to the off-day on Monday. The Pirates could skip Cole’s start and keep everyone else on five days rest. That would allow them to reduce...

Gerrit Cole may be the odd man out for the Pirates
Gerrit Cole
The Pittsburgh Pirates have a problem most teams would love to have; they have a lot of pitching on their hands, which means Gerrit Cole may be the odd man out when everyone gets healthy.
A.J Burnett, Wandy Rodriguez, and James McDonald are all currently on the disabled list. Rodriguez and McDonald are currently on rehab stints with Indianapolis.
McDonald continues to...

News, notes, and the Cole fiasco
The Bucs were off yesterday in Seattle and begin a quick two game set with the M’s late tonight. Until then, enjoy some random Bucs notes…
The Pirates are 46-30, sixteen games over .500. That equals last season’s high water mark (which came much later in the year). They are a game behind the Cardinals in the NL Central, but have a better record than any other team in baseball...
