Saturday 4/7 | News, Notes, and Links

  • The Pirates were off yesterday, but the farm system was in full swing. Here's the minor league roundup.
  • A.J. Burnett made a rehab start in Bradenton yesterday and looked pretty good, going 4.2 innings with five strikeouts while allowing a run on two hits. Tim Williams was there and wrote about the start here.
  • I stumbled across this humorous article that brings back the name Dmitri Young.
  • The Pirates play the Phillies tonight at 7:05. Jeff Karstens takes the ball for the Pirates against Cliff Lee. I will be on TribLIVE Radio from 4-6 doing some pre-game and I'll be tweeting and posting live from the game.
