Got trout in three of my fantasy leagues.
Do you see the Pirates staying in the race
I was umming and ahhing over Trout at the beginning of the season and passed on picking him up after the draft because of that stint in the big leagues last year. I'm sure I'd be sailing now if I had him lol. Although I'd probably have done okay if Matt Kemp had stayed fit too.
As for the Pirates, yeah, I don't know how long they'll hang in there but they're doing a great job so far. Clint Hurdle and McCutcheon are early favourites for end of season nods. We're scraping a lot of wins at the moment thanks to our pitching. Barring a collapse we should be in the wild card hunt at least given our schedule isn't incredibly tough in the final few months. We've got a six game road trip at the Pirates and Cards to end the season but before that all our remaining games are against teams with a less than .500 record i.e. no Giants, Dodgers, Nats, Braves. Before we go to the Pirates though we have six games at GABP including three in the first week of next month and their schedule is similar to ours so it might go down to that last road trip...
