In my opinion he should be gone i mean we tried him twice gave him his chances as did Seattle so i just cant see why keep him at this point why not just make a minor move to a team that might want him for next to nothing obviously or cash id see if they could get a low level pitching prospect that has under preformed in his career and turn it around like Robby Rowland did this year for us after we acquired him from Arizona for Brett Lorin a guy who might not even make it to the MLB but obviously i the guy has struggled there is no guarantee there just a possibility but you’d be trading Clement who the only time i see him coming up to Pittsburgh is September and all he is now is a Road block for both are young 1st baseman Prospects if they get rid of him in anyway Curry to Indy and Dickerson to Altoona

I also think Curry may be hobbled a bit still with whatever the injury was — Was it a groin strain or something like that? Anyway, he’s not starting today and there were two games last week where he just pinch hit.

I doubt they’ll move up, unless maybe near the end of the year. They haven’t shown the kind of dominance they needed to as advanced college hitters, at least not until the last few weeks.

In other owrds, the days of the Brian Bixlers of the world being our number 3 prospect are LONG gone.

Check Tim’s Top 20 list. Also, need a better definiton of ‘honest-to-goodness’. If you are talking about a starter, I would put EVERYONE from 1-10 in that category. JMHO.
