Jung Ho as of right now. He looks great in the field and at the plate.

When should we expect the 1st cuts of the spring to happen?
nubyjas wilborn
12:35
I'd say something in the next few days, Padres, Astros, and Mets already made their cuts to start
Mark

I think Jimmy in the Burgh has a man crush on you.
nubyjas wilborn
12:35
I can't blame him. Have you seen me and how I do my work, I'd have a crush on me too :)
Alex

Odds of a Taillon extension?

51/49
Richard

Since Kang is looking good in the field. Any chance they give him a shot at ss.
nubyjas wilborn

hasn't been discussed as of yet.
Jake

Over under 20 HRs for Bell?
nubyjas wilborn
12:36
over
Chaz

With Kang at 3rd and Pablo and E-Gon impressing, who is more likely to start the season in AAA, Moran or Newman?
nubyjas wilborn
12:37
Newman... but I don't think it'll come to that
Richard
12:37
Everyone says we will have a hard time competing in the central division. All the teams have improved more then us. What’s your thoughts?
nubyjas wilborn
12:38
There is a path for this team to be really good this year. A lot of things have to go right tho.
Matthew

Who are the prospects most ready for major league call-ups?
nubyjas wilborn
12:38
Hayes, Reynolds, and Craig have all made positive impressions.
Scott
12:39
How’s will Craig doing this spring? Potential?
nubyjas wilborn
12:39
good and yes
Dave

Thoughts on the mid-relief bullpen? Liriano and Burdi seem good early on. If Diaz does go to IR and we want Reyes to play regularly, could we go with a shorter bench and keep an additional pitcher, thereby relying on Lyles/whoever less strictly, with more pitchers to burn through for a bit? Or do you think there will be a decisive fifth starter who is expected to carry 5-6IP a start no matter what?

I guess what I'm asking is if mediocrity all around the fifth starter + a potential "extra" spot for a few weeks could push us into a more experimental bullpen set up, at least for a few weeks?
nubyjas wilborn
12:42
I think Brault will pitch out of the pen along with Liriano. As of now I don't think they'll go "opener" or something of that nature, but it'd be easier if Lyles or Davis or Kingham grabbed the ring.
Chaz

Game is on espn, you gonna try and get on tv?
nubyjas wilborn
12:42
yup
Jackson
12:42
Stallings will be around until Diaz is ready, but is there still talk around camp about carrying 3 catchers all season?
nubyjas wilborn
12:42
I haven't heard any.
Matthew
12:42
Outside of Keller, who is good in the pitching pipeline?
nubyjas wilborn
12:43
Geoff Hartlieb has been really good this spring.
Canyon swartz
12:43
Whats the chances brualt gets dfa
nubyjas wilborn
12:43
very slim, He's a big league arm. Just maybe not a starter.
Matthew
12:48
Is there a roster spot for Osuna? Somebody needs to be backup 1st base right?
nubyjas wilborn
12:50
Maybe and yes one would think so
Alex
12:50
what is your favorite part of Pittsburgh and are there any neighborhoods you've especially liked so far?
nubyjas wilborn
12:51
strip district has a lot to offer, I like southside
ke'bryan mays hayes
12:52
Any reactions from beat writers following other teams on the nutrition program article? If I was reporting on, say, the Mets I'd be grilling BVW on the subject
nubyjas wilborn
12:52
A lil bit, it's always cool when colleagues show love. I'd imagine there may be a few more diving into how teams are spending money
Richard
12:52
Start of season last year compared to start of season this yr. Are we a better team this year.  I think we are quite a bit better.
nubyjas wilborn
12:53
It's my 1st season so I can't compare but I think this team ca be good.
