Despite having all these new players, my current favorite, Garrett Jones was just named rookie of the month. Here are his stats, 10 HRs, .310 Average, 17 RBIs, 7 doubles, 5 stolen bases, and a .700 slugging percentage. Can you imagine what the Pirates record would be without those stats. He is about the only power threat they have right now. Hopefully Ryan Doumit will get on a hot streak and provide some, but right now it's Garrett. Sorry, Andrew McCutcheon, 3 HRs in one game is nothing to sneeze at. Keep up the good work you two.
The Bucs were again anemic on offense tonight. One new addition kept Petit from having a no hitter. That would be somewhat understandable if the Petit I was talking about was Andy, but..... the Petit I'm referring to here is Yusmeiro. Who? this is not a misprint, Yusmeiro. Again, a struggling pitcher has his way with the Pirates. Not a new story.
By the way is Zach Duke starting to look similar to the pitcher of the previous 2 seasons. Maybe he's wondering why he didn't get traded. Give it another year Zach.
