The Pittsburgh Pirates have called up some reinforcements.
Yes, for all of the hoopla and back-and-forth regarding Tyler Glasnow, the Pirates quietly added five players who each carry the ability to be a cog – albeit none would be considered a terribly important one – in some games down the 2015 stretch.
Now that we can reel ourselves back in from the Glasnow hype, it’s time to take a hard look at what those who did make the leap up can do for this team. The players coming up comprise an interesting mix of familiar faces as well as someone finally getting a real chance to show what he can do.
