- Prince Fielder is officially in the American League, great news for Pirates fans. The Tigers gave him a hefty 9-year, $214 million contract and now the Pirates won't have to be bothered by him anymore. I wrote this post about the move.
- I took a fairly extensive look at Pirates pitcher Chris Leroux at RumBunter yesterday.
- Pat from WHYGAVS has a post up that talks about the Pirates farm system, that post itself links to some good reads, so check that out.
- Here's a somewhat depressing post from sbnation that reminds us of how tough it's going to be for the Pirates to compete in this league, especially over the long haul. If you're just starting your day, I wouldn't read it, it'll get you off on a bad foot.
