Lyles has inside track at Pirates` rotation
(MLB.com Pittsburgh Pirates)

Armed with data from Milwaukee`s front office and a mentality that he developed early last season, Jordan Lyles transformed into the pitcher who caught Pittsburgh`s attention this winter. He posted a 3.31 ERA with 22 strikeouts in only 16 1/3 innings of relief for the Brewers, and the Pirates think he`s now set up for success in their starting rotation.
