Well the Astros swept us again. Hard to win when the only hit is from Neil Walker. The Pirates need the All Star break and they need to beat the 'Stros. We will see if some of the early season mojo is still in place as they play the Brewers. If there was good news it is that Ohlendorf pitched well again.
In other news that I have been neglecting. The Pirates traded (and I mean sent money for) to get Sean Gallagher from the Padres. He will pitch from the pen, and McCutchen is back in AAA. It will be interesting to see who they bring up for the 5th starter spot. It ought to be Zack Duke, but he will have to not have any set backs. That will be after the All Star Break.
The Pirates have now signed 18 of their draft picks. I am surprised by how many are high school guys at the bottom of the draft. I would have thought most of them would go to college to raise their status. Anyway, during the All Star break, I will take a closer look at the 2010 draft.
The Pirates signed 6 from the Dominican earlier this week. They are
RHP Yunior Montero, LHP Cristian Hernandez, OF Miguel DeAza, SS Rodney Polonia, OF Yunior Valdez, and LHP Melvin Rosario. I like some of the pitchers and DeAza could be good, but maybe his older age helps him look better right now than the others.
