Ah, the Pirates. The team with the worst management and the best fans. Charlie at Bucs Dugout is previewing all of the teams in the NLC. The Cubs and Brewers aren’t up yet, but you can check out the previews for the Reds, Cardinals, and Astros.

The Pittsburgh Lumber Co., the MVN page for the Pirates, is previewing the season by taking a look at Andrew McCutcheon.

And our favorite, Pat at Where Have You Gone, Andy Van Slyke? rounds up some of the Pirates news of the day. The Bucs have already made their first cuts of the season, Steve Pearce is very promising, and Pat is demonstrating depth of potential incompetence by using the name of the Reds’ manager. Good stuff.
