Spring Developments

It is official now the 5th starter will be Daniel McCutchen. Kevin Hart will be a starter at Triple A. This was warrented, and Hart needs some more development time in the minors. McCutchen has pitched fairly well.

Also more importantly Dwelven Young appears set to make the opening day roster. Young leds the team in homeruns and RBIs in the spring. He has been working out at Third Base. This was always the biggest obsticle to his making the team. Vasquez can play second and third. Young needs to be able to cover third to replace Vasquez.

Still look for some possible trades before opening day. Vasquez is on the market, and do not be surprised if Brandon Moss is as well. The Pirates lose him if he is not on the opening day roster, and he has been awful this spring. Plus there is not room for John Raynor and Moss. Raynor is Rule and has to stay with the Pirates all year or the Pirates lose him. Raynor has had a good spring and has shown his speed can be a huge asset.
