I was able to take in Bubba's last start at Greensboro where he successfully faced Wyatt Langford in a strong outing. Heading down to Toon-Town tonight to watch him face Dylan Crews. Should be a blast.

I'm wondering who the pirates are going to send to the Arizona Fall League. I don't think it will be any of thier top pitchers (Skenes, Solometo, Chandler or Jones). Maybe Barco or Ashcraft to get extra innings.

I agree with you about Barco & Ashcraft. I hope they shut down Skenes early to save his arm for AFL. Be fun to see how he does against the competition.

I would like them to send Nicolas in a high leverage reliever role as well. As much as I'd like to see Skenes in the AFL, I think he'll be shut down until spring training, as far as competitive games go.

Agreed on both points. Hope we’re wrong about Skenes.

Termarr, hopefully

Brannigan, Bowen and Termarr would be my choices on the hitting side, maybe Cheng.

Jackson Glenn should be candidate. He seems to have turned things around, and he missed a month. He’s almost 26 and needs to move fast.

Always forget about Glenn, he would be a good choice. If he performs well out there, maybe they'll feel comfortable enough to move an infielder or three to address pitching, outfield or 1st base. Would hate to lose Capra lol

Glenn can hit some, though. They prefer guys who can’t. If he hit .140, he’d be in Pgh in no time.

Don't worry with Haines coming back, he'll have him watching strike 3 in no time.

I think bubba is primed for a huge leap next year, talking top 50 prospect in all of the game kinda leap
