A conversation with Neal Huntington

I had GM Neal Huntington on my show on Friday as the Pirates prepared to open what is sure to be the most exciting and most important series in PNC Park history. I talked to Neal about putting together Tuesday's trade, Sunday's TBD starter and how he's going to go about calling up players when rosters expand on Sunday, among other things. Here is the link.

I also spoke to Cards beat writer Derrick Goold on Friday and earlier in the week I spoke with MLB Network's Brian Kenny. I can't recommend that last one enough. Brian's got a ton of interesting thoughts worth checking out.

UPDATE: I should also have mentioned that Neal discusses the exact nature of Starling Marte's injury and gives a realistic view of the likelihood of Wandy returning this season.
