With Opening Day less than three weeks away,
big league rosters are beginning to take shape. Several

Two months ago, we posted our breakdown of
the Pirates' future at shortstop . In 2009, expect
Jack Wilson, Ramon Vazquez and Brian Bixler or Luis Cruz to earn playing time at the position. In the longer term, players like Brian Friday, Jordy Mercer, Chase D'Arnaud and Jarek Cunningham seem to ...

We detailed just about all of the prospects,
legit or fringe, in the Pirates' system during our
organizational depth chart series. It comes as no surprise to us, or anyone Pirates follower really, that three of the Pirates' prospects (Pedro Alvarez, Andrew McCutchen and Jose Tabata) showed up on ...

Let me start by saying that I love
Nate McLouth. I love him more than you do.
I think he's going to put up numbers similar to his "breakout" year in 2008, make his second All-Star team, and possibly earn a few more MVP votes in 2009. I don't think he's a one-year wonder. I don't even think ...

Astros in '08 -- 86-75, third place in
the NL Central. The Astros toyed with the idea
of reaching the playoffs in '08, but eventually finished 3.5 games out of the Wild Card behind the Milwaukee Brewers. That would make it seem like things are all well and good in Houston, but that doesn't seem ...

We've grown accustomed to the fact that the
Pirates are in the midst of another rebuilding process.
In the short term, management's goal is to stockpile as much young talent as possible. Eventually, the team should have a roster strong enough to compete for a division title and playoff berth. ...

Last month, we looked at each position of
the Pirates and detailed the depth that the organization
possesses in each area. And sure, the Pirates level of talent doesn't match up to a lot of teams (Boston, Tampa, Philadelphia, etc.) in MLB, but those aren't the regulars that we sit in the ...

"In the past month or so, I had
been all about making a trade -- getting rid
of someone in our strength/depth area to improve on a glaring weakness. However, as the Pens continue to struggle, I'm wondering if that should even be the case."
