Uh I I think it's interesting that the pirates didn't say from the very beginning that

Connor Griffin was going to start the season in the minors like they did with Paul Skeens.

They were very upfront about that.

With Connor Griffin, you know, it was leaked out to the National Writers that they were going to give him a chance to compete.
