The Pirates have named Daniel McCutchen their fifth starter to begin the 2010 season. "It feels good," McCutchen said. "I'm not surprised. Not to take anything away from anybody else, but I came in with 100 percent confidence that I was going after this spot. No matter what position I was in, I was approaching it like it was my spot. Maybe, or obviously, that wasn't the case, but that's still the mindset I had. Confidence is a big thing. I have that and I'm going to go out there every day with it, trying to get better." McCutchen has not yet made a Grapefruit League start this spring, but management saw enough from him in two relief appearances and two Minor League starts.
