    hope he starts hot like he was in spring training.

    he needs to start everyday and just keep running him out there. can't fok with his brain now

    I guess this means they don't think they can trade for anyone on their wish list

    That's what I am thinking too Archie. They may be beginning to settle with the offense we have now. The Phillies wanted Lincoln for Victorino last night, and the Pirates were only willing to offer Jared Hughes....thats where that went wrong. Honestly, I would much rather keep Lincoln, but I dont think the difference between Lincoln and Hughes is so great that the Pirates shouldve walked away. We will see I guess

    yeah i think they still have top end of the rotation expectations for Lincoln, since he was a #1 pick...

    Hughes is really really a surprise, as many never thought he'd get out of AA let alone to the big leagues, but I don't think he'll continue ANYWHERE near his current MLB level going forward...

    Im interested to see where he'll hit. They say he's playing LF which is always where sutton/Presley platooned and they always lead off. He very well may lead off tomorrow, I can't see where else to hit him. He may be worth a pickup in fantasy, but I'm not going to make a claim on him. He should steal some bags and score some runs hitting in front of Cutch.

    I could see him hitting 6th or 7th for awhile

    he'll do great in LF in the notch, which makes LF like 2nd centerfield..

    guy has a cannon like clemente!

    The fans here in Pittsburgh are creaming their jeans over this team. Just wait for the ten game losing streak like last year

    This is the best team they've had since the 90's. The difference between this team and the teams of past years is this one actually puts runs on the board. Consistently. I could've done without Wandy though.

    That was no cheapie dinger.

    And the best part for him is that he gets to keep it as a souvenir since it bounced off of one of those colums
