Spencer Anderson is going to get a chance to be a starter. Nick doesn't think Gennings Dunker is ready to be a starting guard. Mike McCarthy is a pass over run coach. Chris Boswell is the highest paid Steeler at his position. Boswell is a top three kicker in the game and the best player the Steelers have at his position across football. The best case scenario is Will Howard beats out Mason Rudolph.

Has Nick ever been in a fight?

The Pirates have reinforcements coming to the bullpen, but don't get too excited. Tom Harrington is lugging his 7 ERA in Triple A to the majors and Antwone Kelly will join him. The guys going back down? Neither one of them is Dennis Santana, who deserves it more than anyone. Are we past the drama with Carmen Mlodzinski or is that still a cloud over this pitching staff?

Would you trade Rickard Rakell and two first round picks for Jason Robertson? Robertson wants $14 million.

Alex Highsmith was back at Steelers OTAs and participated on Monday. Nick doesn't think there is any ill-will that Nick Herbig is making more money. Nick doesn't think Highsmith will hold-out or hold-in. T.J. Watt could have less than 82% of the snaps and could be the way to keep Herbig and Highsmith with good snaps.

Steelers insider Nick Farabaugh of PennLive joined the show. The Steelers have now officially signed Darnell Savage after being rumored for weeks. The Steelers are hosting their first day of mandatory minicamp. Safety isn't deep and Savage can help by doing little things right.
