In this All-Star break edition, David and I give out mid-year grades to the Pirates' players.

David and I discuss the Pirates' recent play against the Astros, their status in the NL Central, Joel Hanrahan's recent pitching, the Pirates' outfield situation, and what the team might do at the trading deadline.

David and I talk Cardinals with Dan Moore of Viva El Birdos and SB Nation St. Louis. Also, we discuss last night's game, the Pirates' approach to the trade deadline, and recent roster moves.

David and I discuss the Pirates' recent roster moves, Brad Lincoln and Kevin Correia, the upcoming series against the Phillies, the Kevin Youkilis trade and more.

David and I discuss Pedro Alvarez and upcoming changes to the pitching staff. After the flip, I talk to Aaron Gleeman of AaronGleeman.com and HardballTalk about the upcoming series against the Twins.

It's just me and David in the latest edition of the Bucs Dugout Podcast. We discuss Charlie Morton's injury, the 2013 rotation, Jameson Taillon's struggles, and the rumors that the Pirates are interested in Chase Headley.

David, WTM and I talk about the first two days of the Pirates' draft. We started recording this at about 5:00 p.m., in about the ninth round. We discuss all the picks made up to that point, and also briefly discuss Stetson Allie and Alex Presley.

In this edition of the podcast, David and I discuss the upcoming MLB Draft with Baseball America's Jim Callis in the first half, and then Bucs Dugout's Vlad in the second. Topics: Will Albert Almora, Mike Zunino or another top talent fall to the Bucs at No. 8? Is Lucas Giolito worth taking? Why is everybody sleeping on Marcus Stroman? Are the Bucs still considering Deven Marrero? And might they end up with Max Fried when all is said and done?

In this edition of the podcast, David and I talk to Kyle Lobner of Brew Crew Ball (@BrewCrewBall) about the Brewers' struggles this season. We also discuss the recent performances of Charlie Morton, Jose Tabata, Neil Walker and (on a more positive note) James McDonald. We also address the promotion of Jordy Mercer.

We talk about the Mets with Eno Sarris of Amazin' Avenue, Fangraphs, and Rotoworld and catch up on the careers of Jason Bay, Ronny Cedeno and Ike Davis in the process. David and I also discuss potential moves the Bucs could make to address their offense.
