In our recent mid-season update, we had those three ranked 7th, 9th, and 20th, respectively.

Legitimate Beef - Why Not Rudy Owens?
Brad Lincoln got roughed up again today, giving up eight hits and four runs in just 3.2 innings of work. It's pretty obvious that he isn't suited to be a starter right now; I'm pretty sure it was obvious before this start actually.

Yes, even with Jeff Karstens getting reinjured in a rehabilitation start Thursday night. Prospect Rudy Owens, a 24-year-old lefty, is banging down the door at Triple-A Indianapolis with a 4-2 record...

Rudy Owens is Good Again
One of the big stories in the Pirates farm system last year was the decline of starting pitcher Rudy Owens. The young lefty was coming off of back-to-back seasons in which he posted ERA's under 2.50 with ridiculously low walk rates in the lower levels. People were looking for Owens to become a solid member of the Pirates rotation as soon as last season. However, Owens did not...
