I suppose this is good news

When you're a Pirate fan, you take what you can get. For example, the following might be one of the most positive quotes I can ever remember reading during any off-season:

Reliever John Grabow and several other Pirates who ended the 2007 season with injuries all appear to be mending in plenty of time to be ready for spring training.

And none of them, so far, has gone under the scalpel.

An off-season where no Pirates are having surgery?!? How will the surgeons of the world survive?!? Think of their children!!!
