  5. Well he’ll have to suffer a few years before tasting what a winning team looks and feels like

  6. “Big power at plate”

    We gonna do a JVB then?

    They should make the DH a decision made by the home team on a game to game basis when they hand in the lineup cards. Let pitchers who can hit, hit. Add a little strategy back to the game.

  7. They have saved a lot of money so far. I wonder if they’re going to give Jared Jones a nice chunk of change to keep him from going back to LSU

  8. So your telling me he could hit for us also. We need a fucking hitter more than a pitcher so why not have both.

  9. I miss pitchers hitting man, we have 4 guys on the big league team/system who I think would be decent hitting pitchers if given the chance

  10. Very cool that he was underslot when most sources were saying that he would most likely be an overslot guy.

    I assume most others will also be underslot except
    Angel Cervantes
    Jared Jones
    McClane Moody
    Nick Frusco
    Carter Gwost
    Connor Hamilton

    Assuming the Pirates took a Cervantes and Jones knowing they’d sign reasonably around slot, it’d be an amazing class if they can get 2-3 of the prep guys picked after round 10.
