**Another injury for the Pirates. Their bullpen has a slightly different look and one fewer lefty option.

**Our Pirates Prospects Daily article this morning looks at what makes Endy Rodriguez so good.

**If you missed it from yesterday, our weekly Saturday draft update looks at the possibility of any new names for the top spot. The start of the draft is just about three months away now.

UMPIRES SCORECARD

Lots of missed calls, but also lots of calls to be made

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.
