I was planning on adding Crow and Scheppers when the regular season started for them (5/14), but since I added Matzek today, I figured I’d add those two today as well.

Any chance you could possibly update the numbers for Aaron Crow and just for shits and giggles, Tanner Scheppers?

The way I see it, the less time I spend researching those stats, the more time I have to beat you in fantasy baseball.

Yeah, don’t discourage my laziness. I know I can find those stats at the cube, but I want you to do them

Actually, most of those stats can be found on their Baseball Cube pages. Bobby Bradley and Sean Burnett came from high school, but JVB, Bullington, Maholm, and Lincoln were college pitchers.

I'll be doing a recap of the college players every Monday, so maybe one week I'll take a look back at the pitchers we drafted and their stats the year before we drafted them.

Hey Tim,

If you have time, how about a chart showing the stats of pitchers the Pirates drafted out of college with their 1st round pick for the past decade so we can get a better perspective on the guys you're previewing now?

That would be 16 Ks for Gibson. In his last two starts he’s pitched 18 innings, allowed two runs, struck out 27, and walked just five. At this point I’d rank him above Alex White.

Um, does that say 16 K’s for Kyle Gibson’s last game? Is that a typo?

It will be mentioned in the summary of Gibson, but he just shut out Texas in his last start. A lot of top pitching prospects in the Big 12 this year.

As for Harper, maybe in the 2011 version, although hopefully not, since that would probably mean the Pirates did horrible in 2010.
