  • In case you didn't hear, there's a small chance that the Pirates could attempt to trade for Yankees starter A.J. Burnett, you can read all about here.
  • Fangraphs weighs in on the Burnett story and talks about the financial side of it, and how that could complicate any possible deal.
  • Another post from Fangraphs lists the worst 10 moves of the offseason. Fortunately, the Pirates aren't on the list.
  • Keith Law ranked the MLB farm systems and put the Pirates in at number 8. The article is for ESPN Insiders only, so you may not be able to read the full thing.
  • Bob Walk and Greg Brown are coming to my school (Waynesburg) today to talk to the Communications department about the sports announcing business and whatnot, so if you are at all interested in that I'll have some quotes and information on my twitter feed between 11:00 and 1:00.
