When the Pirates traded Edward Salcedo to the Kansas City Royals on Friday, I mentioned that Bryton Trepagnier was struggling in AA, so the Pirates didn’t lose anything by seeing if they could get something out of Salcedo. They gave up a relief pitcher with minimal success in the minors and they were getting back […]

The Pittsburgh Pirates made seven trades this past off-season that involved players going the other way. Today, we take a look at the early results from these players traded away. Starting with the Major League players and working our way down the prospect list. I’ve also added some minor league names of note that left […]

The Pittsburgh Pirates made their third trade in as many days tonight, sending Bryton Trepagnier away to Atlanta for Edward Salcedo. Unlike the last two moves, this is something that will have zero impact on the Major League level this season. Salcedo isn’t on the 40-man roster, and he didn’t receive an invite to Major […]

Gregory Polanco is playing in the Dominican, but has not been given permission by the Pirates to play in the Dominican Winter League yet. He is playing in the Parallel League, which is basically the minor league version of the Dominican League. Polanco went 1-for-4 with a double the other day against players from the […]

On Friday night in the Dominican, Stolmy Pimentel made his fourth start and continued to struggle. In two innings of work, he gave up just one run, but allowed three hits and three walks. In 9.1 innings, he has given up ten runs on 16 hits and seven walks, while striking out four batters. Pimentel […]

Catcher Tony Sanchez is leaving for the Dominican on Wednesday, going there to play for Toros del Este. He played some first base late in the season this year, but he will go to the Dominican strictly to play catcher. He should probably see action in about 5-7 days. Last year when Andrew Lambo joined […]

Stolmy Pimentel is looking to make up for some lost innings this year by pitching in the Dominican, but he didn’t get much time in on Saturday night. Pimentel gave up five earned runs on six hits and a walk in 1.1 innings. He threw a wild pitch and failed to pick up a strikeout. […]

On Friday night, Moises Alou announced that Gregory Polanco will play winter ball this upcoming season, joining Leones del Escogido in early December. Alou is the general manager of the Leones club and also mentioned that a decision hasn’t be made yet on Starling Marte. Polanco was the Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable […]

After using Walker Gourley two days in a row, possibly the first time I’ve ever seen a position player do that, the Bradenton Marauders added some fresh arms to their bullpen. The first move that left them somewhat short-handed, was promoting Tyler Waldron to Altoona and getting Brandon Mann back in return. Mann had just […]

Below are the pitching Game Scores* in the Pittsburgh Pirates’ farm system from the last week. The top ten and the bottom five starts are broken down below the chart. The top five short season pitchers are also highlighted in a separate group, since most of those guys only go 4-5 innings max, and don’t […]
