Pirates Journal

The Pirates got some bad news pretty quickly when they found out 2006 first round pick Brad Lincoln will have to sit out for the next 2-4 weeks because of a forearm strain and irritation in his elbow.  Lincoln was picked as the team’s third best prospect and while he was set to start the season at High A, they were hoping he’d be ready to play with the Pirates some time in 2008.  If this injury is really bad, that time table will be blown to bits.
