The non-waiver trade deadline is fast approaching and it is now just a little more than a month away. Will the Bucs be active this season? And, if so, who will be dealt?

The Pirates, of course, have been active in years past but it seems that this year could be somewhat different as the team has a lot of youth in the starting lineup and several of the veterans brought in at the beginning of the year have failed to break into a starting role.

Just curious about how everyone feels about Garrett Jones and the playing time he’s been getting lately? He’s only hitting .250 since his call up, but he’s got two homeruns and three RBI and five games. He has four strike outs already too. Personally, I’d rather see him in there than Moss or Pearce for the time being, but I haven’t heard much from the fan base yet in regards to him. He's got some speed and seems to be average in the field.
