Neil Walker mania

John Perrotto has an article about Walker here. Jim Rodenbush, here. Kevin Gorman, here. That one has some good pictures - I like the one of "Proud Mom." She looks pretty happy to me, too. Ron Cook writes about Walker here. Mike White, here. Chuck Finder and Chico Harlan team up on Walker here. Finally, Ed Eagle has his version here.

The more you read about the pick, the better the pick looks. Welcome, Neil Walker. Hopefully we'll see you at PNC Park before too long.

Another thing. Not too many major-league baseball teams get this much or this much high-quality coverage from their local papers. Pittsburgh may be a small market for a ballclub, but it's definitely a high-quality market. The Pirates are a great team to follow and with the internet you can live anywhere and have all the reading material you can handle. You can also hear and see the games over MLB.com. Once Moses leads us to the Promised Land of .500 and better baseball, we'll be in a golden age for Pirates baseball.
