| Gerrit Cole takes care of Dodgers |
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(6/16/13) Pirates rookie starter Gerrit Cole (2-0) earned his second big-league victory Sunday afternoon against the Dodgers. The right-hander surrendered three runs on seven hits while striking out one in 5 2/3 innings of a 6-3 win.
Cole has allowed five runs over his first 12 innings in the majors. He has three strikeouts and no walks in that span. The 22-year-old became the first Pittsburgh pitcher to win his first two MLB starts since Josh Fogg in 2002.

| Gerrit Cole ups stock with debut |
by Scott White | Senior Fantasy Writer
(6/12/13) For the most part, Gerrit Cole's major-league debut Tuesday against the Giants was a successful one. Some will quibble over the lack of strikeouts, especially since he underwhelmed with only 6.2 per nine innings in his 12 starts at Triple-A Indianapolis, but I liked his response to the naysayers:
"When you have a lead, it allows you to be aggressive," Cole said. "If there's no one on base, I'm going to just challenge guys."
I think most Fantasy owners, myself included, would like to see the young Pirates hurler get more strikeouts, and it's not like he's saying he won't. But when he has a sizeable lead and isn't at risk of giving up a two- or three-run homer, why not keep the pitch count low? He threw just 81 pitches over 6 1/3 innings Tuesday, which is phenominal for a major-league debut.
Cole hit 99 mph with his fastball a couple times in that game, so he clearly has the stuff to get strikeouts when he needs them. And he'll probably need them more often in the majors than the minors. He just didn't need them Tuesday, to his credit.

| Gerrit Cole impressive in MLB debut |
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(6/11/13) Pirates rookie right-hander Gerrit Cole had an impressive debut Tuesday night against the Giants.
Cole (1-0) fired six scoreless innings and took a shutout into the seventh inning before permitting a run-scoring double to Tony Abreu and another run on a ground out. He also helped his cause with a two-run single in his first big-league at-bat. The top pick in the 2011 draft, Cole yielded two runs on seven hits while striking out two in 6 1/3 innings.
"When you have a lead, it allows you to be aggressive," Cole said. "If there's no one on base, I'm going to just challenge guys."
Cole's fastball touched 99 mph twice and it registered 96 mph or better 36 times. He threw 81 pitches, 59 for strikes. Manager Clint Hurdler has yet to indicate whether Cole will return to the minors or remain in the rotation.

A.J. Burnett placed on disabled list with right calf strain
A.J. Burnett is on the DL with a calf injury. The Pirates now have a spot to fill in their rotation, with a starter needed for Saturday.

| Given all that was happening with Dylan Bundy, Gerrit Cole's rise up the minor-league ladder in 2012 kind of went by the wayside. But the first overall pick in the 2011 draft advanced all the way to Triple-A Indianapolis in his first professional season and had success at every level. He isn't quite a finished product -- at times, he tries to do too much, which compromises his location -- but his stuff and ability to command his stuff are as good as you'll find in a minor-leaguer. The Pirates will surely give him more time at Triple-A after he made only one start there last year, but once he thoroughly dominates that level, the only other place he can go is Pittsburgh. And given the Pirates' rotation of castoffs and second-tier prospects, he should have a spot waiting for him. Cole has the kind of pedigree and arsenal that should make him an instant success in the majors, so when he gets the call, you'll want him on your roster. You might even have to invest a late-round pick in him on Draft Day to ensure it happens. (Updated 2/14/13) |
