Pitching coach Joe Kerrigan is unsure whether he'll return in 2010. Ultimately, a team will sink or swim on its talent, but it really would be nice to have Kerrigan back. He has a great reputation, several pitchers have taken a step forward this year (Ross Ohlendorf especially), and it can't be good for the Pirates to cycle through pitching coaches the way they have the past few years. Some continuity would be nice.
