Should Pirates keep struggling youngsters like Henry Davis, Jack Suwinski in minors longer?
On his daily First 10 podcast, Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey ponders the struggles of young Pirates including Henry Davis, Jack Suwinski and Jared Triolo. Is GM Ben Cherington doing something wrong with their development? How do their struggles fit into MLB-wide trends with names like the Detroit Tigers' Spencer Torkelson, the Baltimore Orioles' Jackson Holliday and the Texas Rangers' Wyatt Langford? And do those struggles suggest more time in the minors with Class AAA Indianapolis could be beneficial, as it was for Andrew McCutchen? Jason offers his thoughts on those questions as well as the series victory against the Minnesota Twins. Then he looks ahead to Steelers minicamp storylines to watch, including how Cam Sutton fits in the secondary and what becomes of Najee Harris.
