MILWAUKEE -- Andrew McCutchen's not 18 anymore, but he hasn't changed all that much, either.
The kid I was covering way back when in Bradenton, Fla., the one who'd just partaken in his first big-league spring training, the one who'd impressed from front to finish, the one who'd already begun to form the foundation for the Pirates' next competitive team ... was also the one who'd stormed out of the locker room upon being told he hadn't made the Pittsburgh roster.
Really. As a teenager.
He's 35 now. He's bounced around a bit, more than a performer of his caliber probably should, ever since Neal Huntington traded him to the Giants in the exchange that brought Bryan Reynolds to Pittsburgh.
