I guess I picked a good week to be away - nothing's going on, with the Pirates or with baseball in general. The Post-Gazette has a new article about Nate McLouth that's interesting mostly in that it makes me think that the Spring Training competition between him and Nyjer Morgan for the center field job may not be such a competition after all. The article suggests that all the stats are on McLouth's side (which is true) and that Neal Huntington may already have a pretty strong opinion based on them. Which would be great, since batting Morgan first is probably the surest path to another season as one of the worst offensive teams in the league.
