The Pirates offense is not what it used to be. This is a fact. - Things started off horribly (as they usually have this year) for Ian Snell--he gave up two runs and threw about 678 pitches in a miserable first inning. He settled down after that, though, and got through 6 allowing just...

First things first, welcome to the Pirates, Ross Ohlendorf (The Big O!!). He looked pretty good in his Bucco debut, throwing strikes and getting guys out without much trouble. He gave up two solo shots 3 ER in total in 6 innings. I didn't have a great look at his pitches, but he...

You can't trade Aaron Heilman six times, that's what the GM's job is, to evaluate trades and make the best fit his team. Some of these rumors aren't even true, others make more sense then some. Here is my take on them..... If the Mets can trade Aaron Heilman and a prospect...

I asked this question about Nyjer Morgan a while back, but I think it's actually far more relevant to ask the same question about Andy LaRoche. Everyone is thrilled with the way he's hitting right now (.297/.370/.414), but a lot of is because of just how bad he looked after...

The Pirates got: Jeff Clement, Ronny Cedeno, Aaron Pribanic, Brett Lorin, and Nathan Adcock,
Clement’s a stud. Big-time prospect. He’s a catcher/1b, which immediately presents questions about the future of Ryan Doumit. The #3 overall pick in ‘05 is currently...
