Konnor Griffin is the talk of the baseball town. Let's talk about what we've seen, so far. Also, we will re-address the idea of an extension for the kid. Along with an update on pitching, we talk about position player depth. Many teams are only as good as their starting lineup. That's been the case for years here. Let's talk about what we're seeing from guys who aren't in the suggested lineup.

Spring workouts start this week! There could be more additions to this roster to come... but let's take a look at who's going to be there and what this looks like. This is the best roster Ben Cherington has compiled going into Spring Training. We can get caught up in what could have been, but we're going to take a look forward at what it is - and what it isn't, sure. But with Spring comes hope. Regardless... baseball starts now.

PiratesFest happened Saturday. The impending snow changed the event schedule and participation. And while there were many fans who couldn't make it, the turnout was good. While the spirits were high, there was one question that took the lead: where is Andrew McCutchen? Meanwhile, Paul Skenes received his Cy Young Award Saturday night, as well. We'll talk about that and more.
