Just a short introduction while we’re all waiting . . . and waiting . . . and waiting . . . for something to happen on the A.J. Burnett front. I’ll be posting every couple of days or so with observations on whatever Pirate-related developments seem interesting. When I manage to get to minor league games, I’ll post reports on the team’s prospects. This is a good time to get this blog underway, because I’ll be in Bradenton for a few days at the end of February and also for the last two weeks of March, so I’ll have some observations from Pirate City. Until then, let’s see whether the Pirates can make a much-needed upgrade to their rotation.
Hail and Well Met
Wilbur Miller
Having followed the Pirates fanatically since 1965, Wilbur Miller is one of the fast-dwindling number of fans who’ve actually seen good Pirate teams. He’s even seen Hall-of-Fame Pirates who didn’t get traded mid-career, if you can imagine such a thing. His first in-person game was a 5-4, 11-inning win at Forbes Field over Milwaukee (no, not that one). He’s been writing about the Pirates at various locations online for over 20 years. It has its frustrations, but it’s certainly more cathartic than writing legal stuff. Wilbur is retired and now lives in Bradenton with his wife and three temperamental cats.
