Inbox: Is Glasnow ready for Pirates' rotation?

Do you see Tyler Glasnow in the rotation this year, and do you think he's ready? -- Greg, Sanford, N.C.

Glasnow has shown some good signs this spring, especially in his last few outings. That's the kind of growth you want to see out of a young starter who might have already proved everything he can in Triple-A. He's tweaked his delivery a little in an effort to battle against his adrenaline and long, lanky frame, and he's looked more comfortable on the mound. He's incorporating the changeup and a two-seam fastball, a pitch that helped Jameson Taillon last season.
