Pirates Farm Report

PITTSBURGH (KDKA)- Remember the name Colton Cain because he's a player that could be a future member of the Pirates rotation.

Cain is a left-handed pitcher that the Pirates selected in the 2009 draft. Cain was prepared to play college baseball at Texas but the Pirates offered him a big deal.

I can envision a future rotation of Gerrit Cole, Jameson Taillon, Luis Heredia, Stetson Allie and Colton Cain.
