Jarek Cunningham tore his ACL and will miss the entire season.

Crap city crap city crap city crap city crap city crap city crap city crap city crap city crap city crap city crap city crap city crap city crap city crap city crap city crap city crap city crap city 

Yesterday was rough.  First Moss got hurt and then Cunningham's knee blew up.  We are totally snakebit as an organization right now.  Oh well, at least we aren't the Cubs and none of our fans have cost us a pennant.

Jones and Phillips

I know it is only Spring training, but Garret Jones and Andy Phillips have really hit well. From what I can tell they have both always had potential and have been blocked in other organizations. With Hinske and Vasquez garunteed bench spots, do they have any chance of making the Major league team based on spring or AAA performance? Possibly as late season call ups? Or are they sandwiched between our current MLB players, and younger, homegrown prospects. It makes me really wish we hadn’t signed Vasquez as Phillips plays all of the infield positions as well and Jones as shown promise, but is left handed along with every other Pirate outfielder besides Monroe.

Phillips might make the roster as second UT IF.

Jones is out of luck. As it should be, since he’s not as good as he’s looked this spring.

And while Phillips has value on a bench, he and Vasquez aren’t equivalent commodities, since Phillips can’t handle shortstop on anything more than an emergency basis.

Fair enough.

I was a big proponent of dumping Jack Wilson. I see that, Adam LaRoche and a reliever moving at the deadline, so he’ll probably be key then.
