Pirates lose another pitching prospect to injury
2007-04-03 22:52
by Bob Timmermann

Brad Lincoln, the Pirates first round draft pick from last year, had reconstructive elbow surgery and will likely be out of action for a year.

From Dejan Kovacevic's story in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, we learn that six of the last seven pitchers the Pirates have drafted in the first round have had problems.

The development extended a remarkable -- and regrettable -- run for the Pirates. In the past decade, six of the seven pitchers they have drafted in the first round -- Clint Johnston, Bobby Bradley, Sean Burnett, John Van Benschoten and Bryan Bullington -- have needed major arm surgeries. The only exception is Paul Maholm, class of 2003.
