Unsurprisingly, Barry Bonds continues to dominate NL pitchers, crushing 17 balls over the wall while batting. 387/.481/.693 with 15 homers, leading the league in batting average, total bases and hits, while ranking second in on-base and slugging percentages. Todd Helton has continued his absurd pace from last season, thus far hitting. Upton and 2B Tim Murphy, who are out with a torn meniscus and a torn shoulder muscle, respectively. Tampa Bay (22–31) and Toronto (25–27) have witnessed the only two season-ending injuries this season, to shortstop B. Top prospect Zach Duke has been unimpressive, throwing a 4.19 ERA with the AAA Indians, but catching prospect Neil Walker has been solid with the AA Curve, batting. In the minor leagues, catcher Brent Erickson continues to impress, batting. Perhaps the only bright side in this offense is Craig Wilson, who has set the record for most home runs by a Pirate before June 1. 302 and a wRC+ of 81 (weighted to real life 2005). Jason Bay, the backbone of the team's offense, has batted just. His MLB debut was stellar, going seven and two-thirds scoreless.Īt the same time as Pittsburgh's pitching woes, the offense has certainly been less than spectacular as well. To replace the empty spot in the rotation, the Pirates recalled right-hander Ian Snell from AAA Indianapolis. He will, fortunately, be returning to the team in July. Oliver Perez, the team's ace, broke his arm when a comebacker hit him on the mound. Shortly after the Pirates acquired D'Amico, it became even more important the team had that depth at pitching. Dennis also tried helping the pitching staff, sending minor-league reliever Buddy Groom to Philadelphia for Aaron Fultz, and Mark Redman to Cleveland for Jeff D'Amico. After slightly mitigating the disaster that was the Aramis Ramirez trade by sending Bobby Hill to Baltimore for starter Eric DuBose, Dennis bolstered the minor leagues by trading Humberto Cota to the Marlins for catching prospect Josh Willingham, Daryle Ward and Willis Roberts to Atlanta for first baseman Andy Bako.
General Manager Goose Dennis has tried to stem these losses, making a few minor trades.
500 mark, injuries and cold streaks have caught up to the Pirates, who now place fifth in the NL Central with a 14–18 record. I'll be doing game-by-game updates from now on.Īfter a phenomenal start to the season, in which Pittsburgh were two games over the.
