Thanks for the comments on Levi Sterling. I had mentioned him a day or two ago wondering if he has the chops to see a lot of time in A Ball in his first professional season. I can see the Pirates wanting to give him time in the FCL, but hopefully he will show enough control and manipulation of his 4 pitches at that level to merit competing at the A level.
It's not like the Pirates need some young SP to race to the MLB level, but he seems to be very comfortable and confident in his own abilities and competency. Be interesting to watch. We seem to turn them out year after year, and for that I compliment our GM and our developmental system.
We just need to learn how to develop and apply similar developmental skills with our hitters. Step up Matt Hague - no pressure at all!!!
