Profile
Jameson Taillon is an imposing figure on the mound as his 6-foot-5, 245 pound frame would attest, but his eventual Major League Baseball debut has been delayed due to him undergoing Tommy John surgery last April as he went on to miss the entire 2014 season. Taillon was the second overall pick of the Pirates in the 2010 draft and is considered...

The Next Steps in Jameson Taillon’s Tommy John Rehab Process
Jameson Taillon threw a bullpen session yesterday, which I outlined in the daily recap. Taillon is still in “rehab mode” as Clint Hurdle put it, which means he is still only throwing bullpen sessions on Tuesday and Friday, and still only at 25 pitches per session.
One positive sign yesterday was that Taillon was using his curveball and changeup in the bullpen. This was the first...

Spring Training Notes: Taillon Rehab Status, Live BPs, Kang Gets a Hit
The first week of Spring Training was mostly the same stuff over and over. Throwing programs, bullpen sessions, fielding practice, and batting practice. Today offered a change of pace, as it was the first full-squad workout. The position players in camp also allowed for plenty of live batting practice.

Pittsburgh Pirates: who’s on first?

The Other Tall, Hard-Throwing Pirates Pitcher Returning From Tommy John Surgery
Jameson Taillon became the biggest profile Tommy John case for the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2014, but another top pitching prospect also underwent the procedure. Clay Holmes went down a few weeks before Taillon, undergoing the surgery in mid-March.

Jameson Taillon, Tommy John surgery, and the Pirates’ pitching depth
Let’s start off up front: the news about Jameson Taillon’s Tommy John surgery is terrible. This sort of injury was the elephant in the room when Taillon and Cole were the Pirates’ only two truly elite prospects a couple of years ago, and it was a terrifying thought in 2011 and early 2012. The Pirates’ system has rounded out quite a bit since then and that cushions the blow...
