Brad Lincoln is coming up!

Brad Lincoln may make his major league debut on Wednesday against Washington, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. Pirates GM Neal Huntington believes Lincoln is ready to get his feet wet at the major league level. "We feel Brad needs continued development but that competing at the major-league level is an important next step in his progress," Huntington said. "That next step could come as soon as Wednesday." Lincoln, 25, is 6-2 with a 3.16 ERA, 55 strikeouts, 14 walks, and a .216 opponents' average in 11 starts.

He was drafted above Lincecum and Kershaw, and is the best Pirates prospect. Time to get fired up, Pirates fans! The future is now!

Meh. Maybe he'll help Pirates fans forget about Lincecum. I know Kershaw hasn't for me.

Epic draft fail.

Can we add Brandon Morrow to that list?

Man, am I glad that the Pirates and four other teams all passed on Kershaw and chose collegiate pitchers instead.
