MIAMI - As we reported earlier this week, Gage Hinsz will make his debut for the West Virginia Power tonight, getting a push to full season ball after showing a lot of improvements with his stuff this year. I was able to catch up with Pirates Director of Minor League Operations Larry Broadway, who was in Miami for the Pirates game on Wednesday night, and discuss the promotion.
"We wanted to get him up there, get him out before the short-season club broke," Broadway said. "We planned to get him built up, felt like he was in a good spot.
