The biggest icons at the position for the Steelers are Terry Bradshaw and Ben Roethlisberger but the Steelers have had their fair share of other talents at the position. Unfortunately,...

The Pittsburgh Steelers took some major measures to get their offense back on track in 2024. In an unprecedented move, they changed their entire quarterback depth chart looking for a spark. Gone is 2022 first-round pick Kenny Pickett, who was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles. Earlier in the offseason, Mitchell Trubisky was given his walking […]

Pittsburgh Steelers Receive Lukewarm Reaction For QB Additions

The Pirates have selected Griffin with the ninth overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft. Griffin, the consensus top prep position player in this year's class, has four loud tools, while his hit tool is more of a question mark. A 6-foot-4, 215-pound righty hitter who plays a good shortstop and an even better center field, Griffin has 70-grade speed, a 70-grade arm and plus power that could tick up even more at his physical peak. He turned 18 in April, so he's on the younger side, and most sluggers who are as tall and as young as Griffin come with some hit tool risk. Projecting prep hit tools is one of the toughest tasks for amateur scouts, so there's not going to be much clarity on whether that's a clear weakness or a non-issue until the Mississippi high schooler gets to full-season ball. He has a very high ceiling as a 30/30 candidate whose defensive utility should keep him in the lineup every day.

The accomplished return man produced two enduring plays in the 2012 playoffs.

The nine-year former pro, known for his 2012 playoff...

Ray (elbow) struck out nine batters and gave up one hit and one walk over five scoreless innings in his rehab start Sunday with Single-A San Jose. Making his ninth and perhaps final minor-league rehab appearance as he works his way back from May 2023 Tommy John surgery, Ray submitted his lengthiest and best outing yet. He built up to 74 pitches (56 strikes) in the rehab start and now owns a 4.13 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 38:4 K:BB in 24 innings over stops with San Jose, Triple-A Sacramento and the rookie-level Arizona Complex League. With Ray looking fully recovered from elbow surgery from both a workload and performance standpoint, he appears poised to return from the 60-day injured list to make his Giants debut coming out of the All-Star break. If the Giants opt to keep a five-man rotation intact rather than expanding to six, rookie Hayden Birdsong would seem to be most at risk of losing his starting spot once Ray is activated.

The Nationals are expected to call up Willingham from Triple-A Rochester on Sunday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports. A 26-man roster spot opened up Saturday when Washington traded reliever Hunter Harvey to Kansas City in exchange for a minor-league infielder, and Willingham looks set to fill the vacancy in the bullpen. Although Harvey worked as a setup man, Willingham isn't likely to handle high-leverage work considering that he's logged a 4.54 ERA across 39.2 innings for Rochester this season.

One of my favorite things about the build-up to each NFL season is ESPN’s annual look-ahead player positional rankings that are compiled after consulting with front office executives, coaches, and scouts around the league. Naturally, the position I have most interest in is quarterback. That makes sense, right? After all, it *IS* the single most important position in the game.

The 2024 Major League Baseball draft will take place from Sunday, July 14, through Tuesday, July 16. It used to happen several weeks earlier in the year, but MLB is trying to make the draft a major event, similar to the NBA or NFL, and having it coincide with the All-Star break is part of that plan.
