Last weekend and earlier this week I was in Charleston to see the West Virginia Power play four games. One of the obvious storylines while in West Virginia is the progress of Cole Tucker, who was the Pirates' first round pick in 2014. Unfortunately, Tucker did not play in the four games I saw. In fact, Tucker has not played since going 3-for-5 against Hagerstown on July 28th. That followed two days off, one of which saw him pulled from the lineup before the game.
After the first game I covered, I ran into Tucker in the locker room while he had an ice pack on his shoulder, despite not playing.
