Today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast was recorded at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park.
I examine baseball team names and wonder why there is not a team called the cheetahs.
I also try to figure out who will be the first native of Africa to play in the majors.
And part of the podcast was recorded on a hot air balloon.
Ricky Nolasco, Josh Reddick, Corey Kluber and Kirk Nieuwenhuis all owned baseball on June 15, 2013.

McCutchen is signed for about an average of 8.5 Million Dollars a year until he hits FA in 2018. If he can be among the running for NL MVP every year like 2012, this will bode well for the Pirates value in his salary. He is the best player the franchise has drafted since Barry Bonds.

Neil Huntington has done a great job assembling this Pirates team – and has spun some great trades in order to see his club actually be competitive over the last few years.
At the MLB Reports, we intend to show you the Roster Tree for the Bucs – and how they assembled their current rosters. It will work in a six degrees of separation like format.
Once we figure out the origin of how many trades going back in time it takes to see w here the tree started, it will be time to dissect how the team fared on the deals.
If a player has never left the organization at all, the tree will be easy – as it will just be the year they were drafted.
Listed Below is Part 1 of the Roster Tree
