Craig and Scott (@PirateTakes) discuss the Pirates financial reports that have come out in the past couple of days, the Jones’ elbow injury, the next man up in the rotation, the value of a 40-man roster spot, options at 1st base, a possible closer by committee situation, and the continued battle for backup catcher.  Brought to you by Sportsvival!
