Pirates extended John Russell, Neal Huntington
The Pirates quietly extended the contracts of manager John Russell and general manager Neal Huntington over the offseason without making a public announcement. It is an interesting move, in large part because practically every transaction made by the club can be found within the week it happens on...

Centre Daily Times: State College Should Reconsider Affiliation With Pirates
Wow, does State College's Centre Daily Times seem angry. I don't blame them, but still, it seems like they bring out a new pitchfork every week. Player Development Contracts last either two or four years, and less than a month after a successful 2006, Greenberg announced a four-year agreement...
Frank Coonelly Discusses State College
Here's a good interview with Frank Coonelly in State College's Centre Daily Times. The interviewer's main concerns, for obvious reasons, are the minor league system in general and the State College Spikes in particular, so Coonelly gets pretty specific about some of the issues the Pirates have...

Pirates "Frustrated" With Pedro Alvarez Negotations
The Post-Gazette: "I am frustrated that negotiations haven't concluded of yet," Coonelly said by phone from Pittsburgh. "We were very hopeful to have Pedro playing for the Pirates' affiliates by now. Other premier college players who have signed early, like Troy Tulowitzki, Ryan Braun, Evan...
Huntington: Read Between the Lines! We're Rebuilding
Thanks to Bucdaddy for catching this: "We don't have the depth to get to the next step with the group we have right now," general manager Neal Huntington said. "How do we get that depth? We either trade prospects to get major league-caliber depth or we trade major leaguers to get the prospect...
Cardinals 11, Pirates 6 - The Bullpen Strikes Again
You know, these 1990s-Rockies-style games the Pirates have played recently are exciting occasionally, but they're exhausting, and you feel for the pitchers, and there reaches a point where you think, "Another home run?
