Tracy on integrity of the game
Don't expect all of the Indy call-ups to start regularly. Jim Tracy (via mlb.com):
"You don't foresee a lot of days where you are going to have the liberty to run four or five guys out there -- who were playing baseball in Triple-A or Double-A -- in a big league game," Tracy said. "You need to protect the integrity of the game and your situation in relation to the other competitors that you're playing against."I'd hate to see what Pirates baseball without integrity would look like.
Pearce, Morgan, and Perez up
1B Steve Pearce, OF Nyjer Morgan, and LHP Juan Perez have been called up from Indy, Paul Meyer reports.

Wilbur on DL
Wilbur Miller tries to steer Bob Nutting clear of the Kool-Aid, in a two-part series for OBN: Part 1. From Part 2:
After more than six years with Littlefield at the helm, there isn’t a single position player on the major league roster who was originally signed under Littlefield.Don't drink it, Bob. Please. (Links via Bucs Dugout.)
LaCava
John Perrotto and Keith Law like Tony LaCava for CEO. Sounds great to me. In addition to being a top-notch scout with an expertise in evaluation, LaCava has experience in firing people, an absolute prerequisite for this job.
