MLB Time capsule-3  wild cards and honors

Hour 1 with Paul Zeise: The Steelers selected Washington tackle Troy Fautanu 20th overall. We react to the pick. He grew up a fan of Troy Polamalu and wore 43 for years. Steelers reporter Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette joined the show. Troy Fautanu is a solid pick at 20th and has versatility to move to guard, if necessary. He should be the right tackle with Broderick Jones at left. Ray doesn't even think Dan Moore will be on the 53-man roster in September at this point. Free association.

Hour 2 with Paul Zeise: Former NFL GM Doug Whaley joined the show. Doug takes us through the conversations that happen at the start of day 2. Troy Fautanu will be ok at tackle despite only being 6-foot-4. No one thought Fautanu would be there and many people, in Doug's mind, were trying to convince themselves Amarius Mims (Cincinnati) would have been great despite only playing starting games. We hear from you on Fautanu.

Hour 3 with Paul Zeise: 93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. The board fell in a good spot for the Steelers to pick Troy Fautanu at 20th overall. There is some concern with the knee issue, but the Steelers felt comfortable. The Steelers could have bookend tackles for the next decade. Corner, wide receiver, and center are the most desperate needs now. Omar Khan has brought a new dimension to the Steelers and Andy Weidl has helped make them tougher. Pirates reporter Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette joined the show. Jake Lamb is a left-handed bat in Triple-A hitting the ball well and might be a good option over Rowdy Tellez. Tellez was 1-19 in the last homestand and the Pirates need to look at other options. Noah looks at May 10th as a very possible day for Paul Skenes to debut. Bailey Falter and Jared Jones have been great back to back and these starts make you think the Pirates should be winning many more games.
