I didn’t have a central topic in mind for tonight. I was going to give a few thoughts on what might happen to Jeff Locke once the prospects come up. (Is he better used in a trade for a team that needs a starter, or do the Pirates roll with his recent success and hope he continues to improve?) I was going to do an early look at the big area of need for the Pirates at the trade deadline. (Bullpen help is my guess.) I was also going to do a way too early look at off-season needs, writing about how the Pirates will have a lot of positions locked down, along with a lot of prospect depth, and might be in good position to splurge and make a big move to make their team even better going forward.
