Tyler Glasnow has some amazing stuff. It’s arguably the best in the system, potentially better than Gerrit Cole’s stuff when both are at their best. The problem? He lacks control. That’s not the case all the time, but it does creep up in every start. The control issues are limited to a bad inning in some […]

The Texas Rangers have claimed right-handed pitcher Stolmy Pimentel from the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Pirates designated the 25-year-old Pimentel for assignment on Sunday after he didn’t make the Opening Day roster. He was out of options and the Pirates were hoping he would clear waivers, so he could be assigned to Indianapolis, where he could […]

The Pittsburgh Pirates have recalled right-handed pitcher Rob Scahill and have designated Stolmy Pimentel and Pedro Florimon for assignment. They also made the following disabled list moves official to set the 25-man roster. Jaff Decker – Placed on the 15 day DL (retroactive to March 30) with a left calf strain. Brandon Cumpton – Placed on the […]

The roster for the Pittsburgh Pirates almost seems set. There are technically two bullpen spots available, but there is a pretty good idea who the Pirates will go with. There is one bench spot open, and only two real candidates for that final spot. The bench battle seems up in the air, with closer to 50/50 […]

With less than a week remaining in camp, the Pittsburgh Pirates made their latest round of cuts this morning, sending three relievers to minor league camp, including John Holdzkom. Rob Scahill and Blake Wood were also sent down, trimming the number of candidates down for the final two bullpen spots. “We had a handful of […]

Charlie Morton has been working on a mechanical adjustment this Spring, and in the process, has been struggling on the mound. On Saturday, Morton abandoned that adjustment in order to focus on getting ready for the season. “Those kind of things are going to have to go to the back burner right now, and I’ve got to […]

There are less than two weeks remaining in Spring Training, and the one area where the Pittsburgh Pirates had actual position battles is heating up. There were one or two bullpen spots available when camp began, and the last few weeks have seen certain players step up to become favorites for those roles, while other […]

I had a really good interview with David Todd today on ESPN 970. We discussed a lot of minor league topics, and a few topics from big league camp. A lot of the topics serve as a recap of the top stories this week and some of the top stories from previous weeks, so I […]

To put it nicely, the 2014 Pittsburgh Pirates’ bullpen was a disaster. That’s not exactly nice, but it’s probably the nicest way to describe what happened. Players under-performed, then went on to other teams to look lights out (Jason Grilli, Bryan Morris). The team excelled in previous years with reclamation projects, but didn’t find that […]

It’s no secret that Ray Searage and Jim Benedict have done some great things with the pitchers that have come through Pittsburgh the last few years. They have taken pitchers who have been statistically some of the worst pitchers in the game, and turned them into guys who could post top of the rotation numbers. […]
