Mike Persak of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette joins the guys to discuss which early player performances are real, and who we need to look at a little bit longer. The Pittsburgh Pirates also may be making some roster moves soon, and a lack of options for some fringe players may not save them from being designated for assignment. The Pirates are hovering near .500 as they head into interleague play on the road. Get ready for an interesting week!
