What Is Coming On BTW?

Mon, 9 Nov 2009 03:47:00 +0000

In addition to trade rumors and free agent rumors, this offseason I will take a look back at 2009 player by player from the 40 man roster as well as a look into their future. I will be trying to get a new look back look forward every other day starting November 14th. I’ll start ...

What Is Next?

Sat, 7 Nov 2009 15:41:00 +0000

With the trade for Akinori Iwamura out of the way, second base seems to be set for 2010. This trade is so far to the polar opposite of what Huntington has done so far in his tenure, it leads to a few questions… 1) What move is next? Knowing that Alvarez is not far away. There are ...

Another Trade?

Fri, 4 Sep 2009 19:14:00 +0000

I just received word the Pittsburgh Pirates have been contacted by the Texas Rangers about the availability of a third baseman. The name given to me was none other than Andy LaRoche. With the injury to Michael Young for the Rangers and the recent addition of Neil Walker to the the ...

Second Guessing

Tue, 11 Aug 2009 17:56:00 +0000

I have seen a flurry of articles and posts recently on how well Ronnie Cedeno is playing. I might add he is playing well enough to make a few fans miss Jack Wilson a little less. That is not the point of this post, I am going to focus on the other half of the Pittsburgh Pirates ...

Trader Neal

Thu, 30 Jul 2009 06:04:00 +0000

The Pittsburgh Pirates traded away Jack Wilson and Ian Snell to Seattle, the Freddy Sanchez to San Francisco. Wilson could be a free agent at the end of the season. Sanchez could be as well, provided he does not reach 600 at bats. BTW Thought: Remember Mike Williams? Traded to ...

More On Nyjer

Wed, 1 Jul 2009 04:35:00 +0000

Defensively Morgan was a plus in left field. Offensively, he was offensive. As a leadoff type hitter, he simply does not get on base enough. Even when he does get on base, he was too easily picked off. Morgan is still a work in progress at 28. While the guys on MLB Network ...

New Lineup

Fri, 5 Jun 2009 05:18:00 +0000

Wow! I said that shortly after Andrew McCutchen got his first MLB hit in his first at bat. When McCutchen turned on the afterburners rounding second after Nyjer Morgan’s single in the first. All I could say was “Wow!” With the combination of McCutchen and Morgan at the top of ...

McLouth Now A Brave

Thu, 4 Jun 2009 05:36:00 +0000

Like I said in my last post, if something major happens during my hiatus I will post on it. What happened was one of the last things I expected to be posting on. Nate McLouth has been traded to the Braves for three prospects. The three prospects the Pirates have received in return ...

Fri, 22 May 2009 19:23:00 +0000

As if you had not realized, BTW is once again in a hiatus. Unfortunately, due to some personal and professional issues or problems, I have been forced to put something on the back burner. It is very unfortunate I have to do this with BTW. I will be back, but this time I am not ...

Clemens and Blackout Rules

Tue, 12 May 2009 04:10:00 +0000

Roger Clemens will be on EPN radios Mike and Mike around 8:15 Tuesday morning. Just wanted to pass this on, since it should be somewhat interesting. I finally got an explanation of MLB blackout restrictions. It seems that if there is a nationally televised game and your game is not part of ...
