Reading the daily beat coverage of the team this time of year is really a lot of fun. Tony Watson “didn’t want the job” but the Pirates knew better. Michael Morse is taking some grounders at third
base. Cole Figueroa was spotted wearing a black jersey – other black jersey wearers, according to Adam Berry “looked like they were mostly bound for PNC Park.” And, of course, Ryan Vogelsong was looking for “atonement” according to Bill Brink – maybe not the religious type, but probably the type to make amends for pitching like crap in Pittsburgh before.
