There are several players in the Pirates’ lineup tonight that if you added their batting averages together, you might get one decent baseball player. Things are in such a state that starting Pedro Florimon, who was last seen in Minnesota hitting .092/.179/.132 last year, doesn’t seem like an awful idea. Of course that’s only because he’s more useful defensively than a croquet wicket and the Pirates are awfully thin at “more useful defensively than a croquet wicket.” Good luck, Charlie Morton.
This concludes my preview of tonight’s game.
