In our latest podcast episode, we discuss my recent trip to Greensboro to watch the Grasshoppers for an entire week.

Which players stood out? Is the Javier Rivas start of the season legitimate, and what have been the key factors in his breakout?

The Pirates’ pitching factory might have a legitimate breakout in Antwone Kelly, an international signing who hit triple-digits in his start last week. Is it just the fastball, or does he have a well-rounded arsenal?

Is Shalin Polanco heading for a breakout, and what might help him get there?

We then shift to Altoona and the fantastic start to the year from Hunter Barco. Is he a potential top 100 arm, and what pitching prospects would you take ahead of him in the Pirates’ system right now?

Finally, we talk about Liover Peguero. Is it time for him to get another shot in the majors, and is anything different from last year? We explore some of the analytics on just how much he may have improved and how to fit him on the major league roster.
