Should I be talking about this Moskos thing?

As I'm sure all of you know by now, Danny Moskos has been shelved to work on his mechanics. There are a number of things that I immediately thought about that.

  1. Bullshit. He's hurt and the Pirates are afraid to tell us that because someone might literally get lynched.
  2. Not surprised. Everyone said that his mechanics were "maximum effort" when we picked him, which is never a really good thing. Which is why it was stupid we drafted him.
  3. It's not fair to lump a bunch of expectations on him after he pitched a full college season and threw more innings than he ever has in his life, so maybe we should give him a break (Dejan wrote something similar in his chat today).
  4. Eff that, that's what I said to justify Brad Lincoln's struggles after we drafted him and we know how that went.
  5. Wait, didn't we pick this guy so he'd move through the minors quickly?
  6. I hate the Pirates.
Did anyone catch the part about Wilson Alvarez helping him with his delivery? The same Wilson Alvarez that missed more than two years with arm problems? Yeesh.
