I think before any of the group of guys in AAA is traded away, they should make sure that they can keep a few for themselves.

I think first and foremost his value as a starter should be determined and weighed. From his brief experience in the bullpen, we’ve seen what he brings. I think from the way he’s played so far this year, he deserves an extended look. He’ll have a lot more value going into the future as a starter than a reliever. If he doesn’t prove to have the durability and stamina to be a starter, go for a permanent look in the bullpen next year. In my opinion, lol.

If Owens is Duke 2.0, then maybe the Bucs should deal him while he has value as a successful minor leaguer for some offense.

True. I would like to see the Pirates define Lincoln’s role on the team sooner than later. Is he a starter or should he be groomed to be a late inning reliever?

I’m not sure I want to see another soft tossing lefty in our rotation for awhile. Duke and Maholm ruined me.

I agree, but Lincoln has done better than all of them and he’s already on the team.

Free Rudy Owens! Owens has pitched better than Locke and Wilson and deserves a look at the big league level. Do it Neal!
