remaking the bucs

While the Bucs are taking BP and we're watching the Penguins win again, we thought we'd take a look at the reshuffling of the Pirate organization so far.

Here's the names, ages, and positions of the players the Pirates added to the roster, particularly in AAA Indy and AA Altoona as the new suits try to rebuild the upper level farm system.

There were a handful of guys we couldn't track. If you know where they ended up give us a yell at The Green Weenie.
