BRADENTON, Fla. -- "Guys good, very good."
Roansy Contreras' English is about a billion times better than my English. So I'm sharing his verbatim response to my question on this Wednesday morning at LECOM Park not for some cheap laugh but, rather, to illustrate how few words are needed to convey what's been the unquestioned buzz of the beginning of the Pirates' spring training.
The pitching guys who'll be part of the 2022 rotation ... good, very good.
Maybe.
At least they'll be building off good, very good material. Albeit raw and young.
