Winter Mini-Camp: Day Two Discussion Thread

Published:

Day Two of the Pittsburgh Pirates’ winter mini-camp is underway. Just like yesterday, we have a discussion thread for anything Pirates-related on your mind. The first day discussions revolved around the Josh Bell/John Jaso situation at first base, while the health of Jung-Ho Kang was the biggest concern for most people. You can find a video for Bell/Jaso going through fielding drills, as well as a brief update on Kang in this link.

Not much new for day two yet, but I’ll add any minor notes to this list if they come up. Any big news will go into a separate article.

**Jon Niese and Tony Watson both showed up this morning. Niese told Tim Williams during an interview that he will just be there for one day, then he is headed to St Lucie to continue training. We will have an article on him either tonight or tomorrow.

**Tim Williams also did a one-on-one interview with Tyler Glasnow yesterday, which will be up later.

**Players take the field at 10am and Neal Huntington is expected to meet with the media later on, so there should be a notes article from that conference later on.

**36 days until pitchers and catchers report.

John started working at Pirates Prospects in 2009, but his connection to the Pittsburgh Pirates started exactly 100 years earlier when Dots Miller debuted for the 1909 World Series champions. John was born in Kearny, NJ, two blocks from the house where Dots Miller grew up. From that hometown hero connection came a love of Pirates history, as well as the sport of baseball. When he didn't make it as a lefty pitcher with an 80+ MPH fastball and a slider that needed work, John turned to covering the game, eventually focusing in on the prospects side, where his interest was pushed by the big league team being below .500 for so long. John has covered the minors in some form since the 2002 season, and leads the draft and international coverage on Pirates Prospects. He writes daily on Pittsburgh Baseball History, when he's not covering the entire system daily throughout the entire year on Pirates Prospects.
