Latest sign that things are slowly changing on Federal Street: when the Red Sox traded for Jeremy Hermida yesterday and only gave up two minor league arms, I didn't go apopletic about the Pirates not being involved. Hermida seems like an intriguing buy-low candidate, but if he...

Let's be honest here: the Pirates aren't competing in 2010.There is plenty of room for optimism in other areas of the organization. Pedro Alvarez and Brad Lincoln will likely make their debuts in June. Jose Tabata may also join that list. The Pirates will also get to see what...

On the first day of the 2009-2010 offseason, a few things are immediately clear. One is that despite the fact that the Pirates' roster has a long way to come before it's ready to contend, there won't be a lot of personnel changes in 2010. Looking at the current roster,...

Thanks to tonight’s win, the Pirates cannot lose 100 games this year. Feels kinda good, I guess. Nobody would’ve thought that a week ago, to be sure.
