The Pittsburgh Pirates (15-19) travel to Wrigley Field on Monday night to take on the Chicago Cubs (13-20) in the first game of a three-game series. Dillon Peters (3-1, 1.83) will be on the mound for the Pirates, facing off against veteran lefty Wade Miley (0-0, 9.00), who is making his second start of the season. He pitched three innings in his debut last Tuesday.

The Pirates picked up catcher Tyler Heineman on Monday.

John started working at Pirates Prospects in 2009, but his connection to the Pittsburgh Pirates started exactly 100 years earlier when Dots Miller debuted for the 1909 World Series champions. John was born in Kearny, NJ, two blocks from the house where Dots Miller grew up. From that hometown hero connection came a love of Pirates history, as well as the sport of baseball. When he didn't make it as a lefty pitcher with an 80+ MPH fastball and a slider that needed work, John turned to covering the game, eventually focusing in on the prospects side, where his interest was pushed by the big league team being below .500 for so long. John has covered the minors in some form since the 2002 season, and leads the draft and international coverage on Pirates Prospects. He writes daily on Pittsburgh Baseball History, when he's not covering the entire system daily throughout the entire year on Pirates Prospects.
