I've covered the Pittsburgh Pirates minor league system since 2010 for Pirates Prospects and I can tell you that I learn new things about what goes on all of the time. This has been my full-time job since late 2012. Some days I'll talk to 7-8 players in a day during the season, and while it doesn't happen as often as it used to, they will tell me things about baseball life that I've just never heard before.

There is so much that goes on behind the scenes that fans never hear about...some of it is repeatable
