2013 MLB players to keep an eye on (will be updated all spring)

joe mauer is always a good choice

[Shortstop]

Wish granted. Thanks to some poor decision from Dusty and an absolute killer double play from Votto.

In my opinion, the Bucs were very fortunate to win that game. The 1-4 hitters went a combined 0-17 w/7K's

Locke's stellar performance was almost all for naught and you're right, Votto's AB in the 8th was the key.

[koz-man]

Yeah, the Cardinals are going to be tough to overcome. They have very few, if any, weaknesses.

By the way, don't sweep us today. Let us get at least one win this series over there.

done lol

McCutchen with another dinger as I type this...

[Robber]

Mccutch continues to be a monster

[Shortstop]

Mccutch continues to be a monster

Cutch with 2 bombs and 4 ribbies tonight as the Buccos beat the Nats, 6-5.

[Robber]

Yep he continues night after night

[Shortstop]

Francisco Liriano continues to shine for the Pirates this year.

He's got to be the leading candidate for Comeback Player of the Year.

No argument here.

[makaveli66]

Matt Carp is a good choice when he's in the starting lineup.

[Shortstop]

Liriano's stuff was once again filthy and downright nasty last night as the Bucs crushed the Cards, 9-2!

F Liriano (W, 11-4)	7.0	4	1	1	2	8	0	102-61	2.16

[koz-man]

Go Bucs, keep on crushing those Cards!!!!

[dynamite140]

chris davis is doing good

[Shortstop]

Rookie Brandon Cumpton tossed an absolute gem last night as the Pirates swept the Cardinals in the nightcap, 6-0.

B Cumpton (W, 1-1)	7.0	3	0	0	1	5	0	87-65	2.78

[Shortstop]

It doesn't get much better than this! It was great that Hurdle let him finish the game...

A Burnett (W, 5-7)	9.0	8	1	1	1	9	0	110-83	2.73

[dynamite140]

anyone from the pirates is good

[Shortstop]

anyone from the pirates is good

Yeah, what a year so far! I honestly thought that 2014 or 2015 would be their break out season.

What they've done this year has been, without a doubt, an extremely pleasant surprise!

[Shortstop]

Sonny Gray got his 1st MLB win last night as he painted a masterpiece against the Astros.

I expect this to be the first of many for Gray. In my opinion, he's a superstar in the making...

S Gray (W, 1-1)	8.0	4	0	0	1	9	0	118-75	1.00

[Robber]

Will wait and see starts against Houston don't count

[Shortstop]

Hey, a win is a win is a win. Granted it was the Astros, that was a very impressive outing.

Gray's next scheduled start is at home Tuesday night against the Mariners.

[koz-man]

I agree. I like this Gray kid and feel that he is the real deal.

I picked him up for a stream start for Thursday and after seeing him pitch I decided to hold onto him for another start.

I also think he is the real deal. You made a good choice. Good Luck, koz-man!

[koz-man]

Here's to Gray tomorrow night...

[Shortstop]

Here's to Gray tomorrow night...

Yes! Here's to Sonny tonight...

[Shortstop]

Sonny pitched a very strong game and should've got the win, but the bullpen blew it...

S Gray	7.0	2	2	2	2	7	1	94-56	1.44
S Doolittle (L, 4-5; B, 5)	0.0	4	4	4	0	0	0	19-13	3.67
R Cook	0.1	0	1	1	2	1	0	26-16	2.10
J Chavez	1.2	1	0	0	2	3	0	28-18	4.08

[koz-man]

Going to hang onto Gray for now....

[Shortstop]

Gray is obviously not on any type of pitch count.

He's thrown 212 pitches in his last two starts. The kid has great stuff and is a workhorse.

Sonny's only given up 2 ER's and 6 hits in his last two outings along with 16 K's. Very impressive!

[Shortstop]

I've been very critical of Clint Barmes and his insane $5 million contract all year.

However, he came through big time last night with a clutch 3-run shot to lead the Buccos over the Giants.

I have a feeling he's going to play a huge role for the Pirates as they come down the stretch...

[koz-man]

Clint Barmes is owned by 0% of Yahoo users.

No love for this guy.

[Shortstop]

The Pirates get Marlon Byrd and John Buck from the Mets today for a couple of minor leaguers.

I really like this trade!

OOW I don't like this at all.

Byrd is having a great season and could really help the Bucs down the stretch.

Damn! No love at all for Barmes, thought there'd be at least a few takers...

[koz-man]

The Reds better win tonight. Or its looking like a WC spot...

Nice call! A 10-0 thumping of the Cards was just what both the Reds and Pirates needed last night!

About time they finally scored some runs...

[Shortstop]

Francisco Liriano continues his dominance over the Cards with an absolute gem tonight at PNC Park...

F Liriano (W, 15-6)	8.0	2	0	0	2	6	0	95-59	2.57
