Perhaps one of the most interesting roster decisions the Pirates will have coming up will be with JT Brubaker. The tall, skinny right-hander is Rule 5 eligible this coming offseason, and is putting up some impressive numbers lately in Triple-A.
Brubaker has been throwing in the upper 90s the last few years, and holding that velocity deep into starts. The problem is that he has been too hittable for a guy with his stuff, and hasn't stuck out a lot of batters in the process. He's also had some control issues to boot.
That all has been changing lately.
