It's subscriber only (just subscribe already) so I can't post much more. Very unfortunately, the Hoka-Hey stuff comes up a lot in the issue and it is not flattering. They go into it in both in the Pirates breakdown and a full article earlier in the magazine. However, the player write-ups were pretty encouraging. Potentially three frontline starters....Polanco has 30/30 upside.....McPherson and Holmes as possible #3's....Bell has the makings of a 3 or 4 hitter in a contender's lineup.Lots of good stuff. Subscribe!

On the downside, the Cardinals system is the best in baseball according to BA. I may have to agree.
