Don't Forget Our

Sud Afrikan shortstop, Hope (last name forgotten). Could he be the next Ozzie Smith?

Were our two Indian pick-ups cricket players? At least they would have the general concept of throw the ball so the batter doesn’t hit it…

It's Gift, not Hope

Gift Ngoepe.

Ok, so we Hope...

he’s a Gift to the Pirates…I blame this on

a) old age
b) lead in the water in Korea
c) being kicked in the head by a mule
d) all of the above

Sounds like you lead...

…an eventful life.

Well, as the old saying goes: you can never be too careful around a Korean mule.

Of our prospects from unusual locations...

…I’m probably the most excited about Dovydas Neverauskas, the Lithuanian you mentioned. He’s got good velocity for a 16-year-old, good bloodlines, and a projectable frame. Ngoepe is also a solid prospect, though still very raw.

As far as Latin prospects from outside the typical DR/Venezuela hotspots, we’ve got Jorge Bishop from Panama and Jonathan Barrios from Colombia, who are both worth watching.
