Pirates Journal

NBCsports.com offers some hope for Pirates fans in their preseaon preview.  With some bonafide hitters in Jason Bay, Adam LaRoche and Freddy Sanchez, the Pirates have some solid offense.  The big question mark is their young rotation.  At this point, the team could go either way, but like the preview says, the Pirates at least have something to build on and this may be the funnest season for Pirates fans in quite some time.
