Carrying your injured catcher to the dogpile is an all time great move. Pittsburgh getting a damn good ball player and human being if they decide to go the pitching route with the first pick this year. Nonetheless top two picks are tigers this year. So it’s a win/win for Pitt https://t.co/kOT65n4VlT
