Beaver County Times John Perrotto reports:

• Jack Wilson is back near his 185 playing weight, a nearly 21 pound drop from the beefy 2006 Jack.
• Chris Duffy held up the LaRoche deal, Atlanta wanted him.
• McCutchen has found some of the weigh Jack lost. He has put on 10 lbs of muscle in the offseason. “I feel a lot stronger and like I’m ready to have a better year this year,” McCutchen said.
• Mega Pirate Promos.

BTW Take:

• It is good to hear Jack "Flash" might be back.
• Perrotto is still trying to push that Duffy was part of the deal, he has been saying this for a month and a half.
• McCutchen could be in Pittsburgh sooner than later if he improves on the numbers he put up last season.
• How else but promo's to fill the stands? Try winning!

Dejan at the Post-Gazette reports on PirateFest. A fairly decent recap of the event and closely mirrors Magoo's report here.
