Fair Pittsburgh Pirates Coverage
This team isn’t by any stretch of the imagination a finished product. They haven’t fully moved on to youth, nor have they entirely decided that veterans have no place. When the team brings up players from the IL this week, it’s gong to come at the expense of young players.
Temporarily.
I think the folks are sick of us drumming up trades for the fan favorites, and the hometown heroes. So this week I thought we’d talk Ke’Bryan Hay.. I’m just kidding. Let’s talk about the man that’s been lost in the shuffle, Ben Gamel.

Justin, I’m writing this after watching Oneil Cruz’s 2022 debut, and… I don’t want to trade anybody!
The next few postings could be bonkers as there are a LOT of promotions coming. No reason for me to blather on, so let’s get to it!
Is there something in particular you expect to see me touch on today? I mean I feel like there’s some huge story that I almost have to cover. Hmmm, I guess you’ll have to read and see if I hit on it.
