The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Dejan Kovacevic reports Pittsburgh Pirates pitching coach Jeff Andrews plans on instilling a new mental work ethic among his starters this spring, in an effort to reduce the toll of repeated losses. "After we lose a game, we need to have our starters - all of them - approach the next one with a sense of urgency," Andrews said. "If you take any of our starters and look at the top 10 percent of their starts, they match up with anyone in the league. Well, that's the level you need to find when your team needs it the most. You can't go long stretches of losing, and the only people who can stop those are the starting pitchers."

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Paul Meyer reports new Pittsburgh Pirates pitching coach Jeff Andrews intends to work closely with SP Zach Duke to restore the form he had before the 2006 season. "Mechanics isn't a real fun issue to talk about," Andrews said, "but we need him to become consistent. I think it's going to work. I think he's going to believe in it. It's pretty basic stuff -- but he's a pretty basic pitcher."
