DRAFT DAY FOR THE PIRATES

Here we go, the draft due to arrange mode I have 25th pick and I won't post up the draft beacause it's pretty obvious.

Preveiw:

Players to look for.
Pitchers:
McConnell: At 27 he's past prospect age, but the fastabll looks well into th 90s.
Cordova: 21, has many powerful breaking balls, out of the same college as David Price (Vanderbilt)

Porchaska: 24, Top speed is off the charts!

Catcher:
None

INF:
House: 26, still has a career ahead of him, huge home run hitter out of Boston College.
Kershner: 25, a switch hitting home run machine out of Fresno State, led team with 34 homers.
McMillan: 23, one of the Pirates top scouted players. Excellent fielding skills, 5 errors in 104 chances.
Colina: 19, excellent arm and fielding in general. Mediocre power.

OF:
Kelton: 22, amazing fielding but durabilty is an issue, missed a total of 25 games last season.

wow cordova is good!
and i see you picked up a FA pitcher. i find you can always find at least 1 good one after the draft.

VOLQUEZ TAKING A TRIP TO THE DL

Doctors have annonced his elbow pain will take 17 days to heal, and he will miss atleast 3 starts, in his first stint with the DL this year.





I always look in their beacause like you said their is always that one good one.

UPDATE:

Hideo Nomo is 3 outs away from a no-no against the Nats, 4-0.


HIDEO NOMO THROWS 2ND NO-NO AT PNC PARK

He's done it, the 2nd no-no at PNC this year. No-no Nomo did not comment on his accomplishment. The pirates win and take the series 2-1.

ROOKIE PITCHER CORDOVA WILL GET A CHANCE AT ML LEVEL

I have promoted Cordova to see what he can do in the majors beacause the bullpen has been at it's best. Simple, he does good, he stays he doesn't he goes back to the cold storing place of AAA.


UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!: CORDOVA DOMINATES AT ML WITH 1.42ERA.

PIRATES SWEEP O'S WIN 5 STRAIGHT.

The team really played well for the sweep, now we just need to get out of the basement.


PIRATES ACQUIRE JOHNATHON BROXTON FROM DODGERS

Pirates trade away Great Suzuki and Bixler for young and promising Johnathon Broxton, Thoughts?


PIRATES IN TALKS WITH BOSOX MAY INCLUDE OKAJIMA AND WAKEFIELD


The sox look like they will accept Okajima and Wakefield for Tom Gorzelanny, should I do it?

lol, like that nickname, i think ill be followin too.

OLHENDORF SENT DOWN BROXTON UP

Ross OlhenDORK was sent down after struggling with a 7.77 ERA hopefully Broxton with a 3.33 ERA can help out.


I liked it too, it really fit.

PIRATES HAVE WON 8 OF LAST TEN

The Bucs have been on a roll for June having only lost 6 games as of the 23rd. However the Yankees are the real test, 3 game series starts now.
