Pedro Alvarez and the New Wave (0-1)

Time to start the count over again. Pedro is here. Aki Iwamura is the one sent to the minors to make room. I did not realize he had options left, so it is the perfect move. They still need to trade one of the excess outfielders to make room for Pearce. His arrival would be the final piece of the new look Pirates.

Alvarez showed his glove and got an error. He also scored after a walk. 0-2 is not a bad night. Especially since it was a hard throwing lefty. I am ready to see Alvarez on a righty. Tabata hit a homerun. That was a surprise and a welcome one at that. The Pirates just are not ready for primetime. Zack Duke was awful after the first trip through the line up.

Still, lots of stuff to look forward to with the Pirates.
