SoxAce Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 (edited) I love how they promoted Stanton to make his MLB debut against Strasburg who is making his. That is awesome. I'll be watching for sure. Edited June 8, 2010 by SoxAce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 How awesome would it be if the Pirates just took it to him and he barely made it 2 or 3 innings? I'd enjoy that. Â Is this game on national TV? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â With the prospects they got comming up and their recent draft, they will be very soon. Hell I would say the Cubs still think they are legit. Great future though for the Pirates. They also changed their entire draft philosophy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as some of them get good, it will be time to trade them. Its a never ending cycle for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 I'm so f***ing stoked for this. This has been the most exciting time for me as a baseball fan since 1994. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a never ending cycle for them. Â I don't think so. They're not spending the money they are to get these guys only to let them walk when the time comes. I think there really has been a change over there. And it's good to see both the Pirates and Reds with powerhouse potential (at least by NL central standards). Thus making things even more difficult for the Cubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's good to see both the Pirates and Reds with powerhouse potential (at least by NL central standards). Thus making things even more difficult for the Cubs. Â I said this last year, but with both the Cards and Cubs looking to be possibly fading over the next 2-3 years, it's a great time for the Pirates and Reds to take a big step up. It's important that the Pirates get good value on the veterans they trade in the next year, including Maholm. E. Meek looks to be a promising reliever for them and should be their closer of the future. Edited June 8, 2010 by fathom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
