    is he gonna stay in the minors? took advantage of his 2 starts in a weekly league but considering dropping him as I wouldn't feel comfortable starting him in an away start and could use the roster spot.

    If you feel the need to drop him at this point then I dont think that it matter since you wont win your league anyway

    dropped him and picked up Jason Vargas who has 2 starts next week. I'm not buying the hype.

    this guy is a legit talent, my only issue with him is he does not seem to strike out many batters. zach wheeler might be a better option if he is available, as he averages roughly 1K per inning

    Big series starting tonight between the Pirates and Reds. I wonder if there will be a brawl or two?

    I don't trust Wheeler's command

    Pirates should get to Leake tonight, look for Walker to have a nice night, Martin may go deep as well.

    I wish you both were right! Leake was strong and Liriano, very uncharacteristically, gave up 4 long balls.

    I actually think that Wheeler is the one that will not live up to the hype.

    Cole is scheduled for Friday vs. the Angels in Anaheim, but the other question is when will Wheeler start for the Mets again? He was procedurally sent back to the minors after his start because he was the 26th man on the roster for the doubleheader, and his turn in the rotation is not really needed with Harvey going on Sunday (would be Wheeler's fifth day) and the Mets off on Monday.

    He gets another win last night and took a line drive off the arm. He is looking good only two more wins and he will be the leader in first round picks with the most winning starts

    Anticipating a full house at PNC Park tonight as Gerrit Cole and the Buccos host the Brewers @ 7:05

    Weather could be an issue as the rain and storms continue to linger throughout the area...

    No reason to think he wont go 4-0 at this point. I wonder how he'll fare after teams start seeing him a second time.

    This is the key question.

    I feel that he is the real deal and will be hearing his name far into the future.

    Wonder if they send him back down to AAA when Burnett and Wandy return? Save him for stretch run.

    He is making it impossible for them to do so. Nice problem to have.

    The Cole Train keeps rolling along! After a rough 1st inning, he settled in nicely and took over...

    Pittsburgh Pirates
    Pitchers IP H R ER BB SO HR PC-ST ERA
    G Cole
    (W, 4-0)
    6.0 8 3 3 3 3 0 94-56 3.70

    Another bonus is that he's by no means an easy out at the plate.

    Cole's hitting .333 with with an OBP of .429, he's scored 2 runs and has 2 RBI's.
