Who gets those ABs? I dunno... Sanchez hasn't impressed. Jerry Sands? Mysterious free agent or trade target to be determined later?

Jonathan Sanchez is just the Jonathan Sancheziest.In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.

The Pirates could place 2B Neil Walker (finger) on the disabled list if he doesn't make progress by Friday.

Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said Wednesday that SP Francisco Liriano (arm) is on track to make his season debut on May 11 against the Mets.
Starling Marte hit a long HR off John Axford yesterday, the pitch was 95 at his ankles. He is pretty awesome.

This article has the Pirates pegged to finish around 87-88 wins. Would that it were so.
A theoretical and historical look at the significance of a 37 - 26 record in terms of final record probabilities.
Yesterday's loss really hurt, Justin Wilson, aka this decade's Mike Marshall, gives up a grand slam to Cody Ransom after Jeff Locke had a no hitter into the 6th, and good Edwin Jackson shows up so the Pirates lose 4-1.
Starling Marte has been awful lately, just like you'd expect from someone with his plate discipline. Really, the whole offense is struggling, except for the currently hot Garrett Jones. Cutch has been good but not great like he usually is. The pitchers have been amazing but a lot of it looks unsustainable.
On the other hand, Gerrit Cole will be up on Tuesday!

I wrote up my impressions about Cole's start in the Cole thread: http://forum.rotojunkiefix.com/showt...Cole-coming-up
Charlie Morton will be up to start on Thursday, with Wandy on the DL. So there are now 2 rotation spots open, Gomez' and Wandy's. We'll see how Morton pitches when he's up.

@JamesSantelli A.J. Burnett says he suffered a Grade 1 calf tear while doing a running drill this week. His right leg is in a protective boot. #Pirates
@BiertempfelTrib #Pirates Burnett is wearing walking boot, says he has "grade 1 tear" in calf and cannot put weight on leg: "Hope it's not six-week thing."
@BiertempfelTrib #Pirates Marte strained oblique making head-first slide Wed v #Giants. Return soon? Marte: "One, two, three days, I don't know."
@BiertempfelTrib #pirates have called up rhp Brandon Cumpton to be on taxi squad today, likely start saturday v. #dodgers

Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said Monday that SS Jordy Mercer will receive the bulk of the playing time at shortstop moving forward.
Certainly worth picking up in NL only if he's not already owned. Not a great hitter but certainly a hell of a lot better than Barmes. Not as good a fielder, though.

When will the Pirates not let the Reds look like they are their Daddy? I mean come on, hit Cutch...again and then buzzz walker with a 100 mph heater. Start someone who you weren't going to use and hunt some heads. This needs to stop before one of the Bucs hitters gets really hurt.
