Generally it's old, which is surprising, and there's going to be some pretty bad defense in places, but if any of the three outfielders get hurt there's nobody to be a fourth...
I feel as if Upper Deck has done a fantastic marketing job for passing trade. This is the third time that someone visiting the US has 'just happened' to see baseball cards and picked me a few packs.

Andrew McCutchen 's first-inning long ball over the wall in the left-field corner was only a glimpse of what was to come on Saturday night. McCutchen hit three home runs -- the last resulting in a curtain call -- as the Pirates beat the Nationals, 11-6, in front of 26,855 at PNC Park. Pittsburgh has now won four in a row against Washington in Pittsburgh. "Just one of those days," McCutchen...

Dejan Kovacevic of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that the Pirates released outfielder Craig Monroe. They designated him for assignment about ten days ago after a disappointing Pirates stint that saw him hit just .215/.287/.354.
A list of Major League Baseball player names has surfaced in the last 24 hours claiming to the THE list of all 103 names who failed the at-the-time anonymous drug tests taken during the 2003 season. I don't know if the list is accurate although there are many names on there we already know were cheaters, some self admitted, some already leaked, and some named in the Mitchell Report. Many of the other...
