This time of year in Major League Baseball, almost every contending team is looking for starting pitching help. After all, as the old saying goes, you can never have too much pitching. The Pittsburgh Pirates are most certainly in that category this season.

Yet again, the Pittsburgh Pirates find themselves in a pennant race.
