Steelers maimed

The Steelers are dealing with a lot of injuries.

Can they make Polamalu a two-way player? I'd like to see him run the draw. Or get some time on the offensive line.

Pedro goes yard

The P-G's Colin Dunlap was there for Pedro Alvarez's first Bucco dinger:

The power everyone spoke of perked up, when Alvarez hit a prodigious, no-doubter over the fence in right-center that travelled onto the property of an adjacent golf course.

Dejan's analysis and grades are in. Ronny Ballgame fails and will "surely will be shopped in offseason to teams that see more." Overall, the grades seem fair. If I had to bicker, Duke's C- seems too generous for his league-worst .304 BAA. J-Mike's Clutch doesn't outweigh his .228/.300/.382 line for a B-, and no way Nyjer's 91 OPS+ and striking out 20% of the time is satisfactory for a starting OF.
