Pirates' Pitchers Ailing; Pirate Minor Leaguer Praised

SP Jeff Karstens was pulled from his start last night after an inning complaining of a sore shoulder.  The Pirates placed him on the 15 day DL today and called up Brad Lincoln to take his spot.  Lincoln pitched three shutout innings today.  Closer Joel Hanrahan is day-to-day with a hamstring injury. 

West Virginia Power SS Alen Hanson is garnering some notice.  ESPN.com senior baseball writer Keith Law tweeted about the youngster.  On his twitter, Law was asked what he thought about Hanson.  His replay was, "True shortstop, plus runner, chance to really hit."
