Here are the pitchers. Interestingly, the Pirates webpage lists McDonald as our #1 starter. I’m not buying this until Maholm is traded – so long as a player is pitching well, the honor of being “ace” on any staff usually goes to the longest tenured starter. Correia and Ohlendorf may, depending on performance, flip-flop as 3 and 4 starters until someone better comes along. In looking at what we have, while Maholm is still here, it almost seems as if Scott Olsen is destined for the pen to be another Jeff Karstens-like long reliever or swing man. Of course, this assumes that Charlie Morton doesn’t implode again. I didn’t make a lot of changes to the prospects because there are too many variables to accurately predict who will be at which spot in the rotation. However, if they all pitch as expected (NO JINX!!), it could be wonderful to have Rudy Owens or Bryan Morris as our 4th or 5th starter due to the strength of 1-3.

1) Dodson or Fuesser. Fortunately for this chart, both were born within weeks of each other and drafted by the Pirates in the same year. I thank their mothers for this.
