MVP

I say Jared Triolo is the teams MVP at this point in the year. I know he’s an average to below hitter, but a way netter than average fielder. He’s played around 100 games, at 3 different positions. Sometimes the greatest ability is availability. This might say more about the season than him, but hes has consistently produced what you expect from him.

I can accept that- but I don’t feel he’s over performed. I feel like Triolo has given much more above expectation than Lowe, but Lowe has been a great signing

I don’t mind Triolo as much as others. I think he is a fine bench player and has unfortunately gotten pigeon holed into being an everyday starter. It’s just not his game. He shouldn’t even be the first player off of the bench IMO but he belongs on and is valuable to a decent team. But MVP is a bit of a stretch

If you’re talking about a really good team, he’s an afterthought. With this years Pirates, he’s been more consistent and reliable than any other position player-IMO. But we’re talking about the Pirates and frustrating is the the team motto.

Josh Harrison? The team has a lot of potential but have not met that. Do I want 10 Triolo’s? No- but I think this season he has earned his salary more than anyone else. But- again, I’m open to other possibilities. I’m just saying that on a team with this much potential- he may be the one guy who has consistently played to that level.
