Stephen J. Nesbitt: Thanks for dropping by for today's chat. Pirates are on the upswing again, having just taken five of six from the New York Mets and Arizona Diamondbacks. Next up? The San Francisco Giants, whose last visit to Pittsburgh was the National League wild-card game last fall. It didn't go well for the Pirates. They'll see Jake Peavy tonight and Madison Bumgarner Friday.
Maxitrillian: Good move to bring back Travis Snider?
Stephen J. Nesbitt: No question. It's a good step for both parties. The Pirates add another outfield depth option, and somebody they've watched closely the past few years — and on a low-risk minor-league deal.
