Photos from the Pirates' 3/14 B-Game

Here are some of WTM's pictures from the B-game against the Orioles yesterday.

Here's Bryan Morris, who was cut today. One would think he'd start the year at Class A+, a level he didn't exactly master last season.

Another shot of Morris.

Here's Brad Lincoln, who will start off at Indianapolis and could join the Pirates' rotation sometime this summer.

Here's Brandon Jones, who will be in Indianapolis' outfield. With the outfield in Pittsburgh already crowded (with other people named "Brandon" and "Jones," which must cause Brandon Jones all kinds of existential despair) and with Jose Tabata on the way, it'll be interesting to see if Brandon Jones ever gets a shot with the Pirates.

This is Brian Myrow, the king of hitting the snot out of AAA pitching.

And this is Brian Friday, who will be Indianapolis' starting shortstop.

I assume Donald Veal needs no introduction.

Here's Jeff Sues, who will be in Indianapolis' bullpen.

Finally, we have another shot of Rudy Owens, working in the bullpen.

Does...

Rudy Owens have a jew fro? That would be totally awesome if he ends up in the majors with us some day just because he has one.

I didn’t recognize him at first. Last year he had a crewcut.

He must’ve grown it out pretty quickly:

No, he must have cut it after that. I saw him later in the year.

He's got a ways to go...

Before he out-fros Ross Grimsley.

Reminds me of the poodle we had when I was a kid.

WTM, and/or anyone else in Bradenton

has anyone that you’ve seen really stood out, either in games or workouts? I think I am more excited about what is going to happen in West Virginia and Bradenton this year than what’s going to happen in Pittsburgh, and I am excited about what is going to happen in Pittsburgh this year!

It's a good day to be a Pirate

Morris, Jordy Mercer, Brock Holt.

The Latin guys look very different from the guys they used to bring up. They’re not little slap hitters. Gregory Polanco looked good in BP, for instance, hitting drives to the outfield consistently. All the guys they used to have would just hit little grounders in BP.
