Played with A+ Hickory last season: .242/.331/.353 with 8 XBH in 51 games. And he’s a lefty hitter

Semi-interesting because he’s pretty young for that level.

Fleeced by the big spending Phil’s

I listened to the whole thing.  The Pirates lost a ton of players - will be interesting to see how many it was but must have been 6-7, out of 82 total players drafted (majors and minors combined).   By the same token, Philly took 7 guys in the MiL portion.

Andrew Politi RHP from BOS

McGough was actually good enough to rank 59th on Fangraphs Pirates’ list last year:

“McGough’s a bulldog on the mound, and that, plus good command, helps him get the most out of his Triple-A stuff. He’s just about ready as a No. 6/up-and-down starter but there may also be more impactful relief utility if his slider ticks up a notch in short stints.”

He was hurt for most of 2022, as he only pitched 17.2 innings, and didn’t pitch after May.

Pirates Lost 1 in the MLB round and 11 in the MiLB round.  12 total

Boston and the Dodgers lost 3 in the major league portion, the Yankees and Guardians lost two, Pirates, Giants, Rangers, Cubs & Rays one each.

Mac Sceroler sounds like the Great Value version of Max Scherzer.

Comparable to the Jake Reed move at the end of last year. He’s and extra RH MR arm. A good depth arm to being to ST.

Glad Handley was not pitched.  I think he has a chance to be in the majors in July.
